Lima, Peru, has rapidly ascended as one of Latin America’s most strategic data centre markets, underpinned by Peru’s growing digital economy and its pivotal role as a gateway to the Andean region. Lima’s geographic positioning connects global businesses to emerging opportunities throughout South America, offering a vital link for cross-border digital flows between North and South America as well as Asia-Pacific via submarine cable routes. The city serves as a hub for financial services, cloud providers, content delivery networks, and government digital initiatives, reflecting ongoing investments from both local enterprises and global hyperscalers. As Peru undergoes digital transformation, Lima’s infrastructure and skilled workforce make it an essential location for enterprises looking to expand their regional footprint in one of Latin America’s fastest-developing technological landscapes.

According to recent market data, Lima is home to over 15 active data centres, driven by increased demand from cloud service providers, fintech innovators, and major CDN operators. The city benefits from robust connectivity, with multiple Tier III and Tier IV data centre facilities supported by redundant fibre networks and direct connectivity through key submarine cables such as the South American Crossing and Pacific Caribbean Cable System. Major players that rely on Lima’s facilities include financial institutions, multinational technology companies, and rapidly growing local startups, all seeking secure, low-latency, and scalable infrastructure for their operations. As of 2024, Lima’s data centre capacity continues to expand, with the sector benefitting from both greenfield investments and ongoing facility upgrades.

Despite Lima’s many strengths, global companies establishing or maintaining a presence in the market often encounter unique challenges. While connectivity is improving, redundancy can still be an issue, particularly in the event of localized outages or natural disasters. Bureaucratic processes and regulatory compliance requirements in Peru sometimes increase lead times for deployment and ongoing operations. Furthermore, sourcing and retaining skilled local technical staff can be difficult given the sector’s rapid growth and the competition for IT talent. Reliable and consistent remote hands support is critical for organizations who require seamless operations but may not have dedicated technical presence on site.
