Why this recognition matters
ACCESS THE STUDYThis recognition places Elea among the most advanced digital infrastructure platforms evaluated worldwide and reinforces its role as a global reference in sustainable, high-density, AI-focused infrastructure. More than an award, it validates a model that integrates scale, clean energy, resilience, and advanced computing, placing Brazil firmly on the global map of next-generation digital infrastructure.
Key pillars recognized by Frost & Sullivan
High density and supercomputing
Acknowledgment of the Petrobras 30 MVA data center, which establishes a new regional benchmark for liquid cooling and high-performance computing (HPC).
A nationally distributed IT platform
Presence across five Brazilian states, including the only commercial Tier III colocation facility in Brasília, delivering low-latency architecture and direct integration with global subsea cable systems.
Sustainability as a core pillar
Operations powered by 100% renewable energy, advanced water-efficiency targets, circular-materials initiatives, and more than USD 280 million in sustainable debentures issued since 2024.
Proven resilience
Recognition of Elea’s uninterrupted operation during the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul, when the POA1 site remained the only fully active data center in the region, ensuring continuity for mission-critical operations.
Strategic leadership
Frost & Sullivan describes Elea as “one of the most comprehensive cases of transformational innovation in digital infrastructure worldwide in 2025”.
ACCESS THE STUDY
A rigorous, execution-driven evaluation
Following a 12-month global assessment, Frost & Sullivan highlighted Elea’s ability to integrate scale, renewable energy, operational resilience, geographic expansion, and advanced computing density into a single, coherent infrastructure blueprint — a model unmatched in the Southern Hemisphere.
Strategic initiatives such as Rio AI City, the Petrobras 30 MVA data center, Elea’s nationally distributed platform, and its 100% certified renewable-energy strategy were cited as concrete evidence of a structural transformation in the Brazilian market — and of leadership capable of influencing global infrastructure trends.
