Latin American data center firm OData has launched the first phase of a new facility in Mexico.

The Aligned-owned company this week announced the launch of its new QR04 data center, located near San Miguel de Allende in the Querétaro region.

The new facility completes a network of four interconnected hyperscale data centers in Mexico. Offering a total IT capacity of 24MW at full build-out, the first 12MW phase is operational. OData said the data center is already serving hyperscale customers.

“With QR04, we reaffirm our investment in Mexico and our commitment to our global customers. Our expanded regional presence provides a solid foundation for the sustained growth of cloud and artificial intelligence in the country as well as across Latin America,” said Ricardo Alário, OData CEO.

“Just three months after inaugurating DC QR03, we’ve already begun expanding that facility and have launched DC QR04. Our continued investment across all our campuses demonstrates our commitment to staying ahead of the curve and anticipating the technological needs of the future.”

The facility uses the Aligned-developed Delta Cube (Delta³) air-cooling solution, offering densities of up to 50kW per rack with air cooling alone. QR04 also features a closed-loop water system for IT environment cooling.

Founded in 2015 by Brazilian private equity firm Patria Investments, OData was acquired by Aligned Data Centers in May 2023. The company has operational facilities across the Latin American market, including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico – with more in development.

The company's QR01 campus first went live in 2022; its QR02 campus went live earlier last year. The first phase of QR03 launched in May this year. The company broke ground on QR04 in July 2024.

OData first announced it would start using Aligned’s Delta³ cooling tech in its data centers last year. US data center firm Netrality is also a user of Aligned’s Delta³ system at its 1301 Fannin Street facility in Houston, Texas. Aligned launched a liquid cooling system in January 2024 called DeltaFlow~ that can be integrated with Delta³.
