The initial phases of construction for the company ’ s new facilities are expected to be completed by the end of 2026 and represent a total investment of US $ 1.3 billion in the region .

DC BG02 will provide 24MW of IT capacity , while DC BG03 will offer a substantial 120MW . Together , these facilities will deliver a combined capacity of 144MW .

DC BG03 will be Colombia ’ s largest data center , solidifying the country ’ s position as a premier technology hub . The facility will meet the surging demand for high-capacity data centers , catering to the growing needs of leading cloud and AI providers .

The data center will be a catalyst for digital development in Colombia , reinforcing ODATA ’ s position as the preferred partner for leading companies seeking to expand their operations in the country .

DC BG03 will not only offer the largest IT capacity in Colombia but will also be the first data center in the country to have a direct connection to the local power transmission system . This strategic advantage will enable ODATA ’ s customers to achieve enhanced scalability and energy stability , supporting the growth and development of their digital infrastructure .

ODATA established its presence in Colombia in 2018 with the launch of its data center , DC BG01 . It has since become the leading data center provider in the country , and its data center a major connectivity hub serving some of the top companies in Colombia and the world .

“ The addition of these new data centers in Colombia further solidifies ODATA ’ s position as a leading data center provider in the country as well as the broader Latin American region ,” said Ricardo Alário , CEO of ODATA . “ By expanding our footprint in Colombia , we are creating new opportunities for businesses and reinforcing our commitment to the country ’ s digital development .

“ Our state-of-the-art , sustainable data centers provide the ideal infrastructure for large-scale cloud and Artificial Intelligence workloads , positioning Colombia as an attractive destination for technology companies .”

The new data centers will adhere to the same rigorous standards of sustainability and innovation that have defined ODATA ’ s reputation across all its data centers . Thus , DC BG02 and DC BG03 will incorporate Delta Cube ( Delta ³) air cooling technology , developed and patented by ODATA ’ s parent company , Aligned Data Centers . Unlike conventional data center cooling methods that simply push cold air into the data hall , this technology captures and removes heat directly at its source , creating a hyper-scalable and highly efficient environment .

Delta ³ is designed to cool variable power densities of up to 50kW per rack in the same row , allowing ODATA ’ s data centers to maximise space usage and energy efficiency . •

The addition of these new data centers in Colombia further solidifies ODATA ’ s position as a leading data center provider in the country .
