Buenos Aires, June 24, 2024 \u2013 <\/strong>Data centers are key to driving and facilitating new technologies development and evolution. Between 1 and 1.5% percent of global electricity demand comes from data centers, <\/strong>according to statistics from the International Energy Agency. And projections show that energy consumption from cryptocurrencies could increase 40% by 2026, while that of AI could grow by 10-fold.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the increasing environmental awareness and need to reduce carbon emissions, companies are looking for ways to make their operations more sustainable, including their data centers management. In this line, it is estimated that demand for sustainable data centers will grow more than 14% until 2032, according to Persistence Market Research consulting.<\/p>\n

The connection between data centers and clean energy production is not a project but a reality: Cirion recently replaced 38% of its energy consumption with renewable energy, a key milestone for the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cHighlighting the progress and sustainability of technology in the region is a priority for Cirion. Today, the data center market is experiencing remarkable growth and increasing demand. Given this situation, the company is in the process of building new data centers in Peru (LIM2<\/a>) and Chile (SAN2<\/a>), with a 20 MW capacity each. These centers were designed following international standards, with emphasis on energy efficiency,\u201d said Gabriel del Campo, VP of Data Centers at Cirion Technologies.<\/p>\n

The company, with more than 90,500 km of fiber networks, is one of the few Pan-Latin American networks with presence in more than 20 countries, global reach and one of the few submarine networks providers. In addition, it operates one of the most interconnected carrier-neutral data center platforms in Latin America, with 18 own data centers, supported by different levels of physical and digital security and with the redundancy levels that companies require.<\/p>\n
