SCALA DATA CENTERS
According to Peigo , Scala has a high quality , growing customer base including a global hyperscale provider and a leading IT platform in Brazil . It is now poised to capture market share in under-served geographies of Brazil and the rest of Latin America .
The power behind Scala is their global investor , Digital Colony , which has 125 data centers and 135,000 route miles of fibre assets . “ Digital Colony is the leading investment firm in the infrastructure landscape in the world with more than 40 billion in assets ,” said Peigo .
Three pillars of growth In a bid to accelerate growth during the next six years Digital Colony is focusing on three pillars ; data centres , towers and fibre . “ We believe the three pillars are the foundation of the new economy and the formation of the progress and the growth in the world ,” commented Peigo .
The tower segment of the business includes small cells and distributed antenna systems ( DAS ) while fibre makes up the third pillar of the digital infrastructure strategy which will interconnect its towers and data centres and serve industries that seek to automate and digitise .
Digital Colony has three major investments in the region in this segment : Mexico Tower Partners ( MTP ), the largest private wireless tower operator in Mexico ; Andean Telecom Partners ( ATP ), which operates fibre and towers in Chile , Peru and Colombia ; and Highline do Brasil , focusing on the Brazilian tower business .
“ That increases the size of the company by four times in LATAM . We control and operate more than 6,500 towers in this landscape and globally more than 350,000 towers ,” said Peigo .
“ WE ARE INVESTING IN HUGE CAMPUSES WHERE CUSTOMERS CAN GROW OVER THE NEXT 10-15 YEARS IN LINE WITH DEMAND FOR COMPUTING POWER . WE ARE FINDING PLACES WHERE WE CAN APPLY 100 PER CENT RENEWABLE POWER , AND WE ARE DEVELOPING ALL OF THESE UNDER TEMPLATES OF ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONS THAT ARE WORLD CLASS ”
