Three bits of data center news and some traffic management:
Elea has won a major new data center development project down in Brazil. Petrobras, the Brazilian state-owned oil corporation, has awarded them a 17-year contract worth $500M to build a 30MVA facility in São Paulo complete with advanced liquid cooling. Petrobras will use the facility to host the supercomputers it uses to process the scientific data it generates from exploration, research, and operations. And AI workloads of course.
EdgeMode Data Centers and SUB1 have announced a strategic partnership. SUB1 will leverage EdgeMode’s footprint to offer capacity in Europe, specifically in both Sweden and Spain. EdgeMode operates the Marviken data center, with 95MW of renewable energy and immersion cooling supporting 180kw per rack. Last month they bought a portfolio of data center development assets in Spain.
Crusoe says that the OpenAI Stargate flagship facility in Abilene, Texas is officially live. The purpose-built AI data center is up and running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Construction on the Stargate campus began in June of 2024 and Oracle delivered its first NVIDIA GB200 racks a year later.
And Enea says it has won a traffic management contract worth SEK 39M, or $4.2M. It’s an expansion of an existing relationship with a ‘leading North American mobile network operator’. SEK14M of that will be software licenses recognized in Q3 of this year, with the rest being delivered over the next 3 years.
