Santiago, Chile stands as a vital data centre hub in Latin America, reinforcing its strategic position both regionally and globally. As the country’s capital and economic engine, Santiago has evolved into a bridge connecting North and South American markets, benefitting from robust digital infrastructure, advanced regulatory frameworks, and direct access to multiple submarine cable systems. The city’s maturing ecosystem supports major global hyperscalers, national enterprises, and international cloud providers, making it a preferred location for latency-sensitive operations and mission-critical workloads. The local data centre landscape is distinguished by high standards for energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as proximity to a skilled technological workforce and a stable business environment. In turn, Santiago is quickly becoming a pivotal point in driving digital transformation and technological advancement throughout the region.
According to the latest industry data, Santiago currently hosts over 20 operational data centres, with several major international providers investing in expansion projects. Connectivity is exceptional, with multiple undersea cable landing points such as the South America-1 and new transpacific links, ensuring direct, low-latency connections to the United States and Asian markets. Chile’s fibre optic backbone provides extensive national coverage, supporting sectors spanning content delivery networks (CDN), cloud computing, fintech, telecommunications, and enterprise services. Companies like Google, AWS, and Microsoft have recently enhanced their local presence, while local and regional providers contribute to a well-rounded and competitive market ecosystem.
Global enterprises considering entry or expansion in Santiago face several unique challenges. These include navigating local regulatory and compliance frameworks, particularly around data sovereignty and privacy for sensitive workloads. Power availability and redundancy, while improving, can fluctuate due to regional supply chain dynamics or seasonal demands. Further, integration with legacy systems and onboarding local partners require in-depth cultural, technical, and market expertise. Finally, fluctuations in national energy costs and environmental policies can influence long-term operational planning, making local insight and adaptability crucial to mitigating risks.
