The company Claro Peru, belonging to America Movil, inaugurated the first stage of its Tier III data center in Lima, with an investment valued at USD$50 million.
In this initial phase, a 250m2 Information Technology (IT) room has been put into operation, with a capacity for 104 cabinets, as reported by Claro Peru in a statement.
The supplied energy has certification for renewable energy, secured through a long-term agreement with Luz del Sur, according to the company.
“We are a company that invests in the development of the digital economy of companies and organizations in the public and private sector in Peru, being a benchmark in the digital transformation of businesses in the country,” said Humberto Chávez, general manager of Claro Peru.
