Cirion Technologies has announced the expansion of its BUE1 data center in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The company reports that the center's works include the addition of more than 2MW of capacity and around 160 racks focused on support for intensive workloads, including AI.

Francisco Fuentes, Cirion's commercial director of data centers for Argentina and Chile, said that the company's goal is to consolidate this campus as the main "carrier-neutral campus in Buenos Aires" in order to host more customers and provide the necessary power for their critical operations.

The Argentine facility is not the only one undergoing expansion across Cirion's portfolio. The company's São Paulo (SAO1), Rio de Janeiro (RIO1), and Quito (QUI2) campuses have recently completed their expansion work, and the Santiago (SAN2) and Lima (LIM2) facilities are nearing completion.

Cirion, spun out of Lumen and backed by the Stonepeak investment firm, has also started the construction of another data center of more than 60MW in Rio de Janeiro - RIO2, designed to meet the growing demand for cloud services in Latin America

Gabriel Del Campo, Cirion's vice president of data centers, added that the company's new facilities "incorporate cutting-edge technologies and operate with renewable energy," aligning with the company's commitments to achieve zero liquid Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050.
