“ The idea is that if you close your eyes and open them in a data centre in Brazil will be exactly the same as one in Mexico ,” said Scala Data Centers Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder , Marcos Peigo .
“ We are using the same architecture , equipment , design and features as a standard and will provide adjustments to the requirements of each customer ,” he said .
in lots of smaller data centers that are spread over the country we are developing big campuses ,” commented Peigo who pointed out a standard campus for Scala will comprise of one to four buildings with a 20 megawatt critical capacity each , supporting high density ( higher than 30kW per rack ) deployments .
In 2017 Colony Capital acquired Digital Bridge Holdings and built a multi-milliondollar reserve for greenfield projects ( starting from scratch ) and inorganic growth in three areas : data centers , towers and fibres . Scala Data Centers was officially formed in 2020 with the acquisition of the colocation assets of the Brazilian company UOLDiveo by Digital Colony for US $ 429 million and is now leveraging on these three pillars to accelerate growth as the data centre platform for Latin America .
