SCALA DATA CENTERS
Alongside this , Scala has firmly asserted itself as a market leader in the field of green standards .
“ What makes us really proud is that , since the beginning , sustainability has been a must . This means huge investments to drive lower PUEs , only renewable sourcing since our first day of operation , and being the first Latin American data centre to reach a carbon neutrality status , plus the first to operate with 100 % renewable sources in the region .”
“ The average PUE for data centres in Latin America is 1.74 . Our average PUE in loaded sites today is under 1.35 and , in our most recent designs , we are already reaching below 1.30 . We ’ re very proud to be leading the industry in our region in this way being the benchmark to be followed .”
Creating LATAM ’ s hyperscale market Currently , Scala ’ s key availability zones in Brazil can be seen as a triangle of its vast Tamboré , Jundiaí and Campinas campuses . Then , running in parallel to these expansions , it is also rapidly developing its presence in other cities in Brazil – Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre – and also in other LATAM countries , including Colombia , Mexico and Chile .
What makes Scala so successful in this emerging market is the strategic positioning of its data centres , in order to create opportunistic availability zones , which are precisely designed to best serve customers .
Scala ’ s ascent to the top of the LATAM DC market began in Brazil , upon the acquisition of two premium data centres from the UOL Group . sustainabilitymag . com 79
