Financial Overview

Transparent cost structure designed for long-term operational efficiency.

R$ 104.9M Total CAPEX Land, construction, electrical, cooling, network, security, and fit-out for 200 racks across 4 data halls.
R$ 25.5M/yr Annual OPEX Energy, staffing, maintenance, connectivity, insurance, and compliance. Free cooling reduces energy costs by ~30%.
~4.5 yr Payback Period Compared to equivalent colocation costs at Equinix/Ascenty for 200 racks with the same connectivity profile.
R$ 15.5k/mo Cost per Rack All-in cost including power (10 kW/rack), cooling, connectivity, and facility overhead. 40% below market average.

Regulatory Roadmap

Step-by-step compliance path to full autonomous operation.

Phase 1

Anatel SCM License

Obtain SCM (Serviço de Comunicação Multimídia) authorization from Anatel to operate as a telecom provider and deliver internet services.

Phase 2

NIC.br / ASN Registration

Register an Autonomous System Number (ASN) with NIC.br/LACNIC. Required for BGP peering and independent routing.

Phase 3

IP Address Allocation

Obtain IPv4 and IPv6 address blocks from LACNIC via NIC.br. Size allocation based on justified utilization plan for 200 racks.

Phase 4

IX.br Peering

Establish direct peering at IX.br São Paulo (PTT-SP) and IX.br Campinas. Connect via cross-connect at the exchange fabric.

Phase 5

Certifications & Compliance

Uptime Institute Tier III certification. ISO 27001 (information security). SOC 2 Type II audit. LGPD compliance framework.

Build Timeline

24 months from groundbreaking to full operation, delivered in 6 phases.

Phase 1 — Months 1-3
