Zenlayer: SCL1 Data Center

SCL1 Data Center, operated by Zenlayer, is a carrier-neutral, edge-focused data center located in Santiago, Chile. Positioned within Chile’s primary metropolitan and connectivity hub, the facility benefits from proximity to major enterprises, cloud on-ramps, and regional network infrastructure. Santiago’s role as a key digital gateway for the Southern Cone makes SCL1 well suited for latency-sensitive, performance-driven, and globally distributed workloads. The data center supports Zenlayer’s edge cloud and bare metal platform, enabling enterprises and service providers to deploy infrastructure closer to end users across Chile and Latin America.
