SCALA DATA CENTERS
“ The average PUE for data centres in Latin America is 1.74 . Our average PUE today is 1.35 and , in our new designs , we are reaching below 1.30 ”
MARCOS PEIGO CO-FOUNDER & CEO SCALA DATA CENTERS
“ We quickly decided to grow , with the idea of big campuses in LATAM mirroring the US markets . Seeing this growth combined with the maturity of the applications , the constraints of power and growth in North America , plus the demand for lower latency deployments in Latin America , we drive for bigger deployments ,” Peigo explains .
“ Before 2020 , the average deployments in Latin America ( for a hyperscale site ) were 2-3MW . Now , we ’ re talking about 20-30MW buildings dedicated to single hyperscale customers , not only in Brazil but also in other countries .”
In fact , Scala is currently deploying its Lampa campus which is already the biggest campus ever permitted in Chile , with 120MW of total capacity and 90MW of IT capacity when fully deployed .
“ And to give you a sense of how big we plan for some locations to be , for our Tamboré campus alone , we have secured 600MW of power , which makes Tamboré the fourth largest campus in the world , and by far the biggest one in the entire LATAM market ,” Peigo says .
Scala has grown from to more tha 700 employe in less than three years
