Elea Digital to develop data center in Porto Alegre

Elea Digital, a Brazilian edge data center company, has announced that it is developing a new data center following the purchase of a hyperconnected property owned by TIM, in Porto Alegre (RS). The company has outlined that it expects the project to become the largest data center in the south of Brazil.

The project plans to develop the facility, which currently has a space of 4,000 sqm, with 1.2 MW of installed power and 5 MW of expansion potential, and is a potential landing point for submarine cables, capable of connecting Brazil to the United States, Uruguay and Argentina.
