Aligned Data Centers: ODATA DC BG01 Data Center

Located in the Zona Franca Metropolitana de Cota (Predio San Rafael), just 8.8 km from downtown Bogotá, Colombia, this facility is operated by Aligned Data Centers (formerly ODATA). 

Purpose-built for wholesale colocation and hyperscale workloads in a region with favourable seismic and climate conditions — the site resides in a low-seismic risk zone near Colombia’s capital and is served by robust infrastructure.

Positioned for access to major Latin American network routes and cloud provider ecosystems; the campus is fully carrier-neutral and designed to support high-density computing.

Scalability leveraged via a 6,400 m² plot (≈68,889 ft²), a 5,500 m² building and 2,280 m² raised floor space; initial IT power capacity of 14.6 MW. 

Built to global standards and certified to deliver enterprise-grade operational stability; ideal for hyperscale cloud, enterprise and colocation / cloud deployments.

⚙️ Facility Highlights —

• Total IT power capacity: 14.6 MW. 
• Supports rack densities up to 10 kW per rack, enabling high-density computing, AI/ML and large-scale workloads. 
• Designed with Tier III infrastructure (Tier III Design certified) delivering robust redundancy and availability. 
• Energy-efficient architecture with a reported PUE of approximately 1.5, and an advanced adiabatic cooling system to reduce water and energy consumption. 
• Modular and adaptive white-space design enables rapid expansion and flexible customer deployments; built in a carrier-neutral campus intended for hyperscale growth.

🔐 Security & Compliance —

• Multi-layer physical security: biometric access, smart card access combined with fingerprint readers in critical areas, integrated video surveillance with more than 90 days of stored footage, and continuous monitoring via an enterprise event management system. 
• Comprehensive building management system (BMS) that integrates HVAC, fire detection and suppression, UPS, generators, and security platforms — all connected for real-time management and incident response.
• Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 20001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, PCI-DSS and ISAE 3402 for internal controls and information security. 
• Built to deliver high-availability service levels (24 × 7 × 365 operations) appropriate for mission-critical enterprise and cloud workloads in the region.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access —

• The facility is fully carrier-neutral, offering customers freedom to choose from multiple local, regional and international network providers. 
• Direct connectivity options including cross-connects, dark fibre and lit fibre, as well as cloud on-ramps to major global cloud platforms; designed for minimal latency to Bogotá and major Latin American network hubs. 
• Located within the Metropolitan Free Trade Zone near Bogotá, which provides strong logistics, secure infrastructure and multiple power substations for path diversity and resilience. 
• As a result, customers benefit from outstanding network performance and scalability in a strategically positioned Latin-American colocation campus.

💼 Who It Serves —

• Hyperscale cloud and AI/ML providers seeking high-density power, scalable space and Latin America presence.
• Enterprise and SaaS companies implementing regional offices or disaster-recovery facilities with carrier-neutral connectivity.
• Telecom operators, mobile carriers and network services companies building backbone infrastructure or edge consolidation hubs.
• Media, content-delivery and gaming platforms requiring low-latency access to Latin American markets.
• Organizations undergoing digital transformation (fintech, logistics, manufacturing, IoT) that demand secure, scalable infrastructure in Colombia.
