Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Cirion with the 2023 Company of the Year Award in the Latin American Telecommunication Data Center Services Industry

MIAMI, FL, December, 21, 2023 –Frost & Sullivan awarded Cirion Technologies with the 2023 Best Practices Company of the Year Award in the Latin American telecommunication data center services industry. This award recognizes Cirion’s consistent growth strategy based on a visionary understanding of the future and for effectively addressing new challenges and opportunities.

The award recognizes a high degree of innovation with products and technologies and its resulting leadership in terms of customer value and market penetration.

Making Strategic Decisions with a Far-reaching Impact

Frost & Sullivan’s research identifies that environmental sustainability is a top priority for governments, businesses, and data center service providers. The increasing regulatory focus on sustainability and greater customer awareness requires sustainability to be a part of colocation service providers’ core value proposition. Thus, market participants focus on best-in-class data center design and management tools, creating energy-efficient facilities that utilize renewable resources to reduce carbon footprints.

Cirion implements cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce operational costs and carbon footprint, and facilitate renewable energy system integration.

Moreover, Cirion supports projects that create new sources of clean energy and propel programs in the areas where it operates, including renewable energy and renting solar systems that inject a portion of consumption back into the grid.

Cirion aims to increase renewable energy consumption from 38% to 50% in 2023 through power purchase agreements in different markets.

Cirion’s sustainable initiatives solidify its leadership position and testify to its dedication to building efficient data centers.

A Trusted Regional Leader

“Leveraging a robust infrastructure and product portfolio, Cirion is a leading technology provider in the region. In LATAM, enterprises, carriers, hyperscalers, and all the interconnection ecosystem’s challenges revolve around digital transformation and improving customer experiences. With over 30 years of experience, Cirion addresses these challenges by facilitating businesses with the essential expertise and tools to thrive in LATAM’s evolving environment,” said Josefina Pavón, growth advisory consulting analyst for Frost & Sullivan.

Frost & Sullivan applauds Cirion for its leadership focus and best practices implementation, addressing unmet needs in LATAM’s telecommunications data center services.

Cirion recently announced the construction of two new data centers of 20 MW each, one in Lima, Peru (LIM2), and the other in Santiago, Chile (SAN2). These will meet the needs of hyperscale cloud service providers, operators, content providers and businesses that need scalable infrastructure. It also expanded its data center complex in São Paulo (SAO1), Brazil, with a new 3,600m² building that increases its total capacity by more than 50%.

Cirion owns and operates a carrier-neutral data center hyperconnected platform that connects the main carriers in the region. This allows companies to connect to those they prefer to exchange or distribute content with, taking into account their reach and sustainable operations.

“At Cirion we focus on innovation to provide better services to our customers. All our efforts are driven to these goals while implementing sustainable practices in all company projects,” said Gabriel del Campo, Regional VP, Data Centers for Cirion Technologies. “It is essential to always keep in mind that sustainability begins in design but is materialized in sustainable operation. In that sense, Cirion’s data centers implement technologies that reduce the impact of the carbon footprint, generating greater efficiency, minimizing operating costs, and facilitating the integration of renewable energy systems. We are very focused on the environmental, social, and governance axes.”

“This recognition by Frost & Sullivan validates our efforts to provide sustainable operations with sophisticated capabilities and reinforces Cirion’s ongoing leadership in the data center industry. Cirion is committed to helping Latin American businesses achieve their technological goals and continue on their digital transformation journeys,” stated the executive.
