As Latin America’s premier data centre hub, São Paulo stands at the forefront of digital infrastructure for Brazil and the entire region. Its strategic importance is underscored by its position as the gateway to South America’s largest economy and digital market, connecting multinational enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud providers, and the country’s thriving tech ecosystem. São Paulo’s data centre landscape has rapidly expanded in response to surges in cloud demand, e-commerce growth, and increasing digital transformation initiatives across industries. The city’s robust connectivity, proximity to undersea cable landing points, and vibrant local technology sector make it a cornerstone for companies seeking low latency, regulatory compliance, and regional reach. As a result, São Paulo has emerged as a pivotal node in the global data centre network, serving both international and domestic clients who require secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions.
Recent analysis shows São Paulo hosting over 65 data centres, making it not only the largest concentration in Brazil but also in all South America. The city boasts excellent connectivity, with an average of 78+ internet service providers interlinked and several major Internet Exchange Points (including IX.br, one of the world’s largest by throughput). São Paulo is home to a diverse range of data centre customers, from major cloud service providers and global CDN operators, to fintech leaders, online retailers, and national telecommunications firms. This unique mix makes São Paulo a critical crossroad for financial transactions, content delivery, enterprise cloud, and digital commerce, driving relentless infrastructural demand and continuous facilities innovation.
