Uruguay's state telco mulls second datacenter
Uruguayan state-run telco Antel is mulling building a second premium datacenter in light of increasing demand for housing and storage in its first datacenter, Antel president Andrés Tolosa said.
Opened in 2016, the Tier III site in the city of Pando, Canelones department, could soon get close to saturation.
"Due to the great demand in coming years, we believe that we'll need another datacenter. So we will start working on that project," Tososa said, according to a release from the Uruguayan presidency.
This week, Uruguay's office of planning and budget (OPP) signed an agreement with Antel to use the datacenter to store and process key financial information.
The facility will now house financial data and support the new financial information system the departments use, the government reported.
The move is seen as strengthening local financial management toward greater transparency for the control of management and better accountability.
"It is an important step to make financial information very clear to the population and in a timely, safe and comparable way, for better decision making", OPP director Álvaro García, said after signing the document.
The move follows a decision announced in September by Uruguay's state-run pension operator Banco de Previsión Social (BPS) to migrate its six data processing operations to the Pando datacenter.
Currently, around 50% of Pando's datacenter is used by local and international private companies.
