Navégalo, a provider of data centre and telecommunication services with a strong presence in Latin America, has announced the arrival of a new state-of-the-art data centre in San José, Costa Rica. The opening is scheduled for 15 August 2023.
Navégalo says this expansion solidifies its position as the largest privately held data centre company in Costa Rica. The new facility boasts 300 cabinets, including an exclusive 40-cabinet suite, providing ample space to collocate infrastructure and benefit from Navégalo's comprehensive suite of services.
Initially providing 5MW of power, the new facility can scale up to 15MW to meet the growing demands of global hyperscalers. Navégalo says that Costa Rica's strategic location, skilled workforce, robust telecommunication infrastructure, proximity to the US, and political stability make it an attractive choice for these tech giants, as well as global clients.
As for environmental stewardship, Navégalo says it will achieve a number of relevant certifications by the end of the year. It adds that it has operated on 99% renewable energy for the past seven years and plans to offset the remaining 1% through solar panels.
By October 2023, Navégalo will be ISO 9001 and ISO 27001-compliant. The facility already holds Rated 3 certification according to ANSI/TIA-942 standards, with Tier III Certification expected later this year.
Navégalo says it ensures 100% redundancy and robust connectivity through its own capacity on three submarine cables – PAC, Arcos, and Maya.
Founded in 2002, Navégalo offers hosting, domains, VoIP, cybersecurity, and colocation services. As well as its two facilities in San José, Navégalo is also present in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama along with Miami in the US.
