In this episode of The Data Center Frontier Show, Matt Vincent is joined by André Busnardo, Commercial Director for Tecto Data Centers and they will explore how Tecto Data Centers is shaping the future of digital infrastructure in Latin America through its operations in Fortaleza, Brazil. André will discuss why the region is considered one of the most important connectivity hubs in LATAM and how the company’s investment strategy is helping address the growing demand for reliable, neutral, and scalable infrastructure.

Fortaleza is home to the Cable Landing Station (CLS), connecting major submarine cable systems that interlink Latin America with North America, Europe and Africa. With this in mind, Tecto’s presence in the city — with two data centers already operating and a third under construction — puts the company in a prime position to serve hyperscalers, telecom providers, content platforms and governments looking for low-latency, high-capacity solutions.

  • Why Tecto chose Fortaleza as a priority for expansion
  • How the company leverages V.tal’s terrestrial and submarine fiber network
  • The types of customers and demands emerging in the region
  • Tecto’s broader vision of creating a neutral and integrated digital infrastructure ecosystem
  • Opportunities to serve the evolving requirements of AI workloads and data-intensive applications
