Cirion to Expand its Existing Data Center Footprint in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Strategic land acquisition located immediately adjacent to Cirion’s existing RIO1 facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to support a new 60 MW state-of-the-art, carrier-neutral, energy efficient data center

New data center will provide critical colocation capacity to service growing regional demand needs

MIAMI, FL, August, 1, 2024 – Cirion Technologies (the “Company”), a pan-Latin American leading digital infrastructure and technology provider, today announced that the Company has acquired a 15,000 square meter parcel of land, located immediately adjacent to its existing interconnection-dense data center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (“RIO1”), to support the expansion of its data center footprint in the region. Cirion is backed by Stonepeak, a leading alternative investment firm specializing in infrastructure and real assets with more than $71.2 billion in assets under management and an extensive portfolio of communications and digital infrastructure investments globally.

The new parcel of land, which is located in the São Cristovão neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, will support a new up to 60 megawatt carrier-neutral data center facility (“RIO2”). RIO2 will have access to a business-friendly environment and renewable energy sources, an already established ecosystem with more than fifty network and cloud providers, diverse metro and long-haul connectivity to major cities and tech hubs in the region and be in close proximity to international subsea cable networks to deliver minimal latency between Latin America and other regions. RIO2 is expected to be ready for service in 2026.

Once constructed, RIO2 will mark Cirion’s fourth data center asset in Brazil, and will be directly connected through primary, redundant dark fiber routes to the rest of Cirion’s Brazilian platform. The Brazilian platform currently comprises three data center campuses in São Paulo (“SAO1”), Rio de Janeiro (“RIO1”), and Curitiba (“CUR1”), which are strategically located in secure, easily accessible regions, and close to primary business districts, enabling strong logistical and operational agility. RIO2 will also be integrated into Cirion’s broader carrier-neutral platform comprising 18 data centers across Latin America. Through its platform, Cirion provides colocation, cross connectivity, and disaster recovery capabilities to support the demand needs of various hyperscalers, carriers, content providers, and enterprises, and customers can connect directly to more than 100 network service providers and to key public cloud providers operating in the region via peer-to-peer connectivity.

“This land acquisition supports the continued expansion of our data center campus in Rio de Janeiro, highlighting another important milestone in our expansion journey to grow our platform of low-latency, interconnected data centers”, said Facundo Castro, CEO for Cirion Technologies.

Nelson Fonseca, President of Cirion’s Data Center business unit, stated, “RIO2 will be a state-of-the-art, carrier-neutral, energy-efficient data center with direct fiber connectivity to Cirion’s existing ecosystem from day 1, providing interconnect-oriented colocation capacity to the region’s rapidly growing data center market”.

The acquisition of this land and development of RIO2 complements Cirion’s current data center developments in Santiago, Chile (“SAN2”) and Lima, Peru (“LIM2”), as well as the recently completed expansion of its data center campus in SAO1. These projects ensure continued scalability for Cirion’s customers as digital transformation and cloud adoption continues to proliferate rapidly in Latin America.
