Vertical Data and Ascenty Partner to Deploy AI Infrastructure Across Latin America
Vertical Data Inc., an AI infrastructure company focused on sovereign cloud and GPU financing, has entered into a partnership with Ascenty, the largest data center and connectivity platform in Latin America. The collaboration is designed to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence workloads across Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Colombia, giving enterprises in the region access to compute environments that meet the technical and governance standards of North America and Europe.
Under the Reseller and Referral Agreement, Vertical Data will orchestrate hardware procurement, financing, operating models, and managed services. Ascenty will serve as the infrastructure and data center operations pillar, providing regional scale, connectivity, and operational excellence. The partnership grants Vertical Data access to Ascenty’s footprint of 40 data centers, 27 of which are currently in operation and 13 under development. Ascenty, a joint venture between Digital Realty and Brookfield Infrastructure, also operates 4,000 kilometers of its own fiber-optic network across the region.
“Latin America has the data center capacity and connectivity foundation needed to host AI workloads at scale,” said Deven Soni, Chief Executive Officer at Vertical Data. “What enterprises in the region have been missing is consistent access to the hardware, financing and operating layer that converts that capacity into deployed compute. Ascenty has built one of the most sophisticated data center platforms outside of North America and Europe, and this partnership allows us to bring our model directly to enterprises operating across the region.”
Vinícius Minetto, Sales Director at Ascenty, noted that customer demand for robust, scalable environments to support AI and high-performance computing is growing rapidly. “Ascenty provides the infrastructure foundation, while Vertical Data brings a complementary layer of hardware procurement, financing, and managed services that simplifies deployment. This partnership allows us to offer a more complete solution, enabling companies across Latin America to accelerate their AI initiatives.”
The combined offering is structured around three commercial models: Joint Go-To-Market, Referral Partner, and Resell Partner. Either party may introduce opportunities involving GPU infrastructure, GPU financing, or other strategic solutions, with agreed mechanisms for deal registration and pricing alignment. Ascenty contributes colocation, carrier-neutral connectivity, high-density and liquid cooling infrastructure, as well as renewable energy capacity. The company has operated with 100% renewable electricity certified by IRECs since 2020 and neutralized all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in 2025. Its closed-loop cooling systems result in a water usage effectiveness of zero, and its operations are supported by ISO 14001, 50001, 45001, and 37001 certifications.
Demand for AI compute across Latin America has been accelerating, particularly among financial services, telecommunications, government, and other regulated sectors. Ascenty’s data centers are designed to support energy-intensive workloads, including GPU clusters, AI training, and inference applications, with cooling architectures prepared for high-density environments including liquid cooling. Through this partnership, Vertical Data is positioned to support enterprise customers requiring AI compute capacity in the region while maintaining the governance standards typically associated with deployments in more mature markets.
The partnership extends Vertical Data’s international footprint, complementing its recently established subsidiaries in Sweden and Canada. It supports the company’s focus on capital-efficient deployment of AI infrastructure through collaborations with established regional operators.
