Tecto Data Centers is a colocation and connectivity-focused data center platform launched in October 2024 as the data center business unit of V.tal, the Brazilian fiber and submarine cable infrastructure company controlled by BTG Pactual. Tecto sells edge and hyperscale colocation space, connectivity, and managed services to telecom operators, cloud providers, and enterprises, leveraging V.tal’s network of more than 450,000 km of fiber in Brazil and over 26,000 km of submarine cables. As of early 2026, the company operates six live data centers — three in Fortaleza (Ceará), one in Rio de Janeiro, and two in Barranquilla, Colombia — and has publicly committed roughly US$1 billion toward at least five additional facilities across Brazil, including a 200MW hyperscale campus in Santana de Parnaíba (greater São Paulo) and a new site (TPOA1) in Porto Alegre. Its flagship Fortaleza facility, Mega Lobster, opened in October 2025 as a 20MW, 1,000-rack site built on land where the company’s original submarine-cable-linked colocation structure was established back in 2018.

Common Questions
How many data centers does Tecto operate, and where?
As of early 2026, Tecto had six operational data centers: three in Fortaleza, Brazil (Ceará state), one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and two in Barranquilla, Colombia. It is simultaneously developing new sites in Santana de Parnaíba (greater São Paulo) and Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
Does Tecto sell cloud computing services?
No — Tecto's public materials describe it as a colocation, connectivity, and managed-services platform (edge and hyperscale), serving cloud providers, telecom operators, and enterprises as tenants rather than competing as a cloud provider itself.
Is Tecto building AI-specific data center infrastructure?
Tecto markets its platform generally as designed to support AI, cloud, and high-density workloads with high energy availability, and its 200MW Santana de Parnaíba campus and 20MW Porto Alegre site are being pitched partly to big tech and cloud customers, but no specific facility has been confirmed with GPU clusters or liquid cooling in public reporting so far.
Who owns Tecto Data Centers?
Tecto is a business unit of V.tal, the Brazilian fiber and submarine cable operator formed when BTG Pactual's infrastructure fund merged wholesale telecom operator GlobeNet with Oi's fiber-optic infrastructure assets.
What is Tecto's largest data center so far?
Mega Lobster in Fortaleza's Praia do Futuro district, inaugurated in October 2025, is Tecto's largest completed facility to date — a 13,000 sqm, 20MW site with ten data halls and room for roughly 1,000 racks, built for about R$550 million (~US$97-110 million).
