ODATA, an Aligned Data Centers company and provider of data centre services for Latin America, has announced two new data centres in Cundinamarca, Bogotá, Colombia, DC BG02, located in the Zona Franca de Occidente in Mosquera, and DC BG03, located in the Zona Franca Metropolitana in Tenjo.
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 centre, solidifying the country’s position as a premier technology hub. The facility will meet the surging demand for high-capacity data centres, catering to the growing needs of leading cloud and artificial intelligence providers.
The data centre 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 centre 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 centre, DC BG01. It has since become the leading data centre provider in the country, and its data centre a major connectivity hub serving some of the top companies in Colombia and the world.
“The addition of these new data centres in Colombia further solidifies ODATA’s position as a leading data centre 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 centres provide the ideal infrastructure for large-scale cloud and Artificial Intelligence workloads, positioning Colombia as an attractive destination for technology companies,” Alário added.
The new data centres will adhere to the same rigorous standards of sustainability and innovation that have defined ODATA’s reputation across all its data centres. Thus, DC BG02 and DC BG03 will incorporate Delta Cube (Delta³) air cooling technology, developed and patented by ODATA’s parent company, Aligned Data Centers. Unlike conventional data centre 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.
Delta³ is designed to cool variable power densities of up to 50kW per rack in the same row, allowing ODATA’s data centres to maximise space usage and energy efficiency. The technology seamlessly integrates with liquid cooling systems, enabling ODATA to efficiently meet the demanding requirements of artificial intelligence and other high-density applications in Colombia.
