ODATA is one of the fastest growing hyperscale data center platforms in Latin America.
The purchase of ODATA will give Plano, Texas-based Aligned facilities strategically located across Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile, as well as additional data centers currently under development across the region.
The acquisition combines a significant growth runway for expansion and a proven ability to deliver capacity at maximum speed, with regional expertise and partnerships, enhanced fiscal resources, and a resilient supply chain, to deliver a world-class data center platform that meets the demands of our global hyperscale and enterprise customers.
Aligned Data Center said post-close it will have a total of 30 sites at full build with an energy capacity of 2 gigawatts.
By comparison, Amazon, the world’s largest data center operator has approximately 120 sites and uses 12 gigawatts of renewable energy to power 65 percent of the company’s operations, according to an April report from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Aligned anticipates data center needs growing rapidly in Latin America in the next 10 years, driven by cloud service providers hyperscale and demands from government agencies. Aligned said it believes it will be well positioned to capture the expansion in that region with the ODATA acquisitions.
