Latin American operator OData is developing a new data center in São Paulo, Brazil.
The Aligned Data Centers company this week announced DC SP04, a new data center to be located in the city of Osasco, São Paulo.
The company aims to invest more than $450 million on the 48MW facility. DC SP04 is scheduled to become operational in April 2025.
The data center will be the first OData facility in Brazil to feature Aligned’s Delta Cube (Delta³) cooling system, with DC SP04 able to offer densities of up to 50kW per rack.
“We take great pride in operating with 100 percent renewable energy in Brazil, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to sustainable and responsible energy practices. The integration of Delta³ in DC SP04 delivers rapid scalability, cutting-edge technological innovation, and exceptional energy efficiency, enabling us to quickly address the growing power density and capacity needs of our customers,” said Ricardo Alário, CEO of OData.
OData is a subsidiary of Aligned Data Centers, which acquired the firm in May 2023. The company has operational facilities across the Latin American market, including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico – with more in development.
OData first announced it would start using Aligned’s Delta³ cooling tech in its data centers last year.
“Delta³ enables us to cool hyperscale IT environments efficiently, saving both energy and space. The system also seamlessly integrates with liquid cooling solutions, enabling OData to provide customers with high-density computing environments that can scale easily to accommodate AI, cloud, and high-performance computing deployments,” added Kelvin Tamura, design director at OData.
US data center firm Netrality is also a user of Aligned’s Delta³ system at its 1301 Fannin Street facility in Houston, Texas.
Aligned launched a liquid cooling system in January 2024 called DeltaFlow~ that can be integrated with Delta³.
