A steady move away from on-premises data
centers has led to rapid growth in managed hosting and colocation
facilities, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in Brazil looking to incorporate GenAI into their
business operations can use external data centers to experiment and
develop use cases, according to a new research report published
today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading
global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center
Services report for Brazil finds a growing demand from Brazilian
companies of all sizes for data centers that will host GenAI
servers. GenAI is widely available on the cloud with all
hyperscalers offering large language models (LLMs) that startups
and large enterprises can employ to develop GenAI use cases, the
ISG report says.
“GenAI requires a massive amount of energy,” said Anay Nawathe,
ISG cloud delivery lead in the Americas. “Because clean energy from
hydroelectric sources is limited, colocation providers and
hyperscalers are planning to build or expand solar and wind farms
in Brazil to ensure the future supply for GenAI.”
Although Brazilian enterprises have been steadily reducing their
on-premises data centers, not all their data is ending up in the
public cloud, the ISG report says. Companies can opt for cloud
technologies in managed hosting and colocation facilities that
offer direct link connections to public cloud providers, the report
says. According to ISG, adopting a hybrid approach enables
enterprises to distribute applications across several locations and
exchange data over private links without exposing any data on the
public internet.
In response to this data migration, there has been robust market
expansion in the number of providers and new data centers, a rise
in available floor space and an increase in international
investment in data center infrastructure, the ISG report says. The
need for additional data centers in Brazil is considerable, driven
not only by GenAI requirements, but also by organic growth, driven
by increasing demand from content providers and hosting providers,
the report says.
All colocation sites are connected to the Brazilian internet
traffic exchange network and most sites have direct connectivity to
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI),
allowing managed hosting providers and content creators to leverage
these highly available and hyperconnected data centers to offer
their services, the ISG report says. According to the report, all
colocation providers have integrated software-defined networking
(SDN) tools into their services.
“Enterprises in Brazil can use SDN to create virtual data
centers spanning several locations,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner
and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “It is important to
compare SDN costs and functionalities to select the most suitable
colocation provider.”
The report also examines how low-latency demands required by
GenAI are driving Brazilian computing to the edge.

services challenges that enterprises in Brazil face, including
