FEATURE : DATA CENTERS were responsible for 1 % of total electrical energy consumption in that country .
According to a survey conducted by the Uptime Institute , electricity accounted for up to 44 % of a data center ’ s operating expenses . For colocation sites , energy efficiency plays an essential role in competitive pricing of services . Advanced critical infrastructure and thermal systems are part of the solution for efficiency . Thermal efficiency options that are gaining popularity include evaporative coolers and solutions that use water and air cooling simultaneously . These new technologies have been increasingly adopted by colocation data centers in Brazil , Chile and Colombia . has teams of professionals trained and certified in data center management and project best practices – experts who already support dozens of colocation data centers in multiple countries . Brazil , Chile , Colombia , Mexico and Argentina , among other countries , trust these qualified professionals , who collaborate and share knowledge .
All data centers are fundamental , and the data center is decisive for the success of thousands of Latin American companies . It is essential that , in 2021 , these centers advance in terms of availability , connectivity and energy efficiency . This will determine the future of our region ’ s digital economy . p
Due to the high cost involved in the construction and operation of data centers , there is a growing demand for prefabricated data centers , designed , assembled and tested in Brazil , and exported to countries in the region . Prefabricated data centers reduce the time between design and implementation to four to five months , which improves the return on investment of these projects .
Continuous optimization – A colocation data center challenge
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT , IN 2021 , THESE CENTERS
ADVANCE IN TERMS OF
AVAILABILITY , CONNECTIVITY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY .
Another big challenge is optimizing the critical infrastructure of the colocation data center . Our region
