Scala Data Centers is a wholesale/hyperscale colocation operator built specifically for Latin America, selling large-block data hall and single-tenant building capacity to hyperscalers, cloud platforms, and large enterprises rather than offering a cloud product of its own. Founded in April 2020 by DigitalBridge (then Digital Colony) on top of facilities acquired from Brazilian IT firm UOL Diveo, Scala has grown into what industry press has repeatedly called the leading Latin American platform for sustainable, hyperscale-grade data centers, having invested roughly $1.6 billion across Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia as of 2024-2025. Its flagship asset is the multi-building Tamboré Campus in Barueri (São Paulo state), where it has rolled out a growing sequence of single-tenant hyperscale buildings (TB04, TB05, TB08, TB09, TB10, and others) alongside two legacy multi-tenant sites it inherited at founding. Beyond Brazil, Scala has opened or is building campuses in Curauma and Lampa, Chile; Tepotzotlán, Mexico (near Mexico City); and Bogotá, Colombia, positioning many of these sites near new subsea cable landings (Humboldt, Malbec System) to serve as new hyperscale gateways in markets that previously lacked large-block capacity.
Scala differentiates itself through a modular ‘FastDeploy’ build approach, 100% renewable/I-REC-certified power, and being among the first Latin American colocation operators certified to the rigorous ANSI/TIA-942-B Rated 3 construction and design standard.

What quality certification does Scala use for its data centers?
Scala states that its newer data centers are certified to the ANSI/TIA-942-B Rated 3 construction and design standard, which the company describes as more comprehensive than the Uptime Institute's Tier III certification.
When and how was Scala Data Centers founded?

Does Scala have data centers specifically built for AI/GPU workloads?
Scala has described the second phase of its Tamboré Campus as supporting rack densities up to 70kW with liquid cooling for machine learning deployments, but public reporting does not tie this specifically to one named building, so no single Scala facility can yet be confirmed as AI-optimized with building-level evidence.
