Scala Data Centers, a leading Latin American platform of sustainable data centers in the hyperscale market, has announced an initial investment of approximately US$80 million for its first data center in Mexico named SMEXTP01. Located 25 miles from Mexico City in the municipality of Tepotzotlán the facility will have an initial critical capacity of 5MW. This strategic move enhances Scala’s capacity to meet the massive demands being made by large cloud and content providers known as hyperscale.
Operations for the new facility are set to begin in Q4 2023 and a major hyperscale client already anchors the site. Covering a built area of 142,133 sqft (about 13.2 thousand square meters) the SMEXTP01 HyperEdge Data Center will offer maximum customization and modularity. Consistent with the company’s portfolio the data center will operate on 100% renewable and certified energy.
Marcos Peigo, CEO and Co-Founder at Scala, commented: “This new project underscores our commitment to enabling new markets in Latin America either in unexplored locations or in regions with data center presence but still lacking a dedicated approach to large IT capacities that truly serve the hyperscale segment. We are proud to spearhead this expansion and create unique conditions for massive colocation clients in the region through innovation, energy efficiency and sustainable technology.”
