Latin America: an attractive destination for locating data centers 

The growth of co-location and information services will continue to increase in the future due to the rising demand for cloud services and the need for data storage and processing.

Data centers have become the perfect solution for storing information, regardless of its weight or the data businesses produce.

According to an IDC report, demand for data centers in the Latin American region will increase in the coming years due to the growing adoption of cloud technologies and the digitization of businesses.

Data center infrastructure investments in Latin America are expected to reach around seven billion US dollars by 2025.

In Colombia, for example, interest in data center construction is growing due to the country’s strategic location and the availability of renewable energy and fiber connectivity.

However, there are no current figures on the exact number of data centers in Colombia, as this number is constantly evolving and depends on various factors such as investments and demand for IT services.

“As companies become more flexible while coping with unorthodox working conditions and unpredictable supply chains, the need arises to accelerate their ability to deliver goods and services with real-time speed and accuracy,” says Marcio Kenji, Cloud & Service Provider Segment Manager for SAM at Schneider Electric.

And this is where the importance of future data centers becomes clear, as sustainable, energy-efficient designs and models enable greater flexibility and the ability to quickly transition and scale processes, programs, tools, and resources, allowing for minimal exposure and associated risks.
