A Brazilian renewable energy company, Casa dos Ventos, has been given the go-ahead from the country’s power grid regulator for a 300-megawatt data centre project in the Pecem port complex in Ceara, northeastern Brazil.
African data centre operator Raxio Group says it has signed an agreement with digital network operator Laser Light Africa to accelerate internet services for seven markets in sub-Saharan Africa, starting with Angola.
Data centre infrastructure platform Elea Data Centres has won what it describes as the largest IT infrastructure contract of its kind ever awarded in Latin America.
Google is reportedly planning to invest US$6 billion to establish its first data centre in India, with a planned IT load capacity of 1GW that would make it one of the largest such facilities in Asia-Pacific.
