Infrastructure as a Service: Cirion extends coverage of its Bare Metal Cloud product to Colombia
Minimum latency, provisioning speed, autonomy of use, and management are a few of the main benefits
Miami, February 26, 2024 – To offer computing capacity in different regions, with minimal latency and integrated into zones, Cirion Technologies, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and technology, continues to expand its technological infrastructure in Latin America with the implementation of a new region of its Bare Metal Cloud service, a computing alternative for hybrid environments.
Bare Metal Cloud is a computing platform that offers dedicated, high-performance hardware, with self-management and pay-per-use, to host strategic applications. Bare Metal Cloud makes it possible to assign dedicated servers to any of the platform’s customers automatically, providing minimal latency, provisioning speed, flexibility of use, and management.

During 2023, this technology was provided to Cirion’s customers in Brazil in São Paulo (SP), Fortaleza (CE), and the Northeast region, as well as in the cities of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Curitiba (PR).
Cirion is now expanding its Bare Metal Cloud coverage with a new region in its Data Center in Bogotá, Colombia. Throughout 2024, the company plans to continue its expansion to the cities of Buenos Aires, Lima, Mexico, and Santiago.
“Bare Metal Cloud is a service that offers automated computing capacity and is located close to large centers, so its solutions have very low latency. Additionally, the solution allows for absolute agility, as it is ready to use,” comments Alejandro Girardotti, Senior Director of Products, Innovation and Strategic Alliances at Cirion Technologies.
Other key benefits are:
Reduces IT solutions’ time to market, with on-demand, real-time, dedicated access to customer servers.
Offers high-performance computing combined with the flexibility of the cloud.
Minimizes latency and optimizes security with dedicated servers hosted in Cirion Data Centers close to users and complying with the highest standards of international certifications (TIER III, ISO, ISAE, PCI).

According to the international consultancy firm IDC, by 2026 40% of infrastructure, security, data, and network offerings will require cloud-based control platforms that enable extensive automation and promise significant reductions in ongoing operational costs.
With Bare Metal Cloud, Cirion offers greater cloud agility for the computing infrastructure through an innovative capacity as a service.
