The investment strengthens Modular’s role in high-complexity projects and accelerates its ability to meet the growing demand for digital infrastructure in Brazil and Latin America.

The initiative comes amid rapid growth in data processing, driven by artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and high-density digital applications.

New Architecture for a New Digital Demand

As part of this strategy, the company is advancing the development of a new generation of multi-tenant modular data centers.

The model was designed to allow simultaneous operations within the same infrastructure, with high efficiency and independence between environments.

The modular architecture also enables progressive expansion and vertical growth, optimizing physical space and reducing response time to market demands.

Focus on Hyperscale, Cloud, and Artificial Intelligence

Modular Data Centers is directing this new investment cycle toward key areas of digital transformation: hyperscale, cloud, and artificial intelligence.

A leader in Latin America in engineering and construction of modular data centers, the company develops high-density solutions with on-demand scalability, accelerated deployment, and customized architecture.

Its portfolio ranges from large hyperscale environments to AI and HPC projects, with solutions such as HyperPod and AI Pod, designed to support high computational loads with efficiency and rapid expansion.

Key focus areas:

Hyperscale: high-capacity, scalable infrastructure for major technology providers;

Cloud: flexible solutions for cloud operations, with on-demand growth;

Artificial Intelligence (AI/HPC):environments designed for high density, thermal efficiency, and intensive processing.

Tailored Engineering and Speed

The engineering-to-suit methodology is the foundation of Modular Data Centers’ approach, with projects developed based on each client’s specific needs, considering technical, operational, and strategic requirements. This approach ensures greater alignment, reduces adjustments throughout operations, and increases predictability.

Alongside this, deployment speed stands out as one of the company’s main differentiators. With integrated engineering, industrialized processes, and modular manufacturing, Modular delivers projects up to 60% faster than traditional models.

This performance is supported by a robust industrial structure, with 42,000 m² of production capacity, output of up to 98 modules per month, and a team of more than 90 engineers.

In practice, this model reduces on-site steps, increases deployment efficiency, and accelerates the launch of infrastructure for hyperscale, cloud, AI, and HPC.

Production Expansion and Technological Strengthening

The investment also supports the expansion of the company’s industrial capacity and advances in proprietary technology development.

The incorporation of new equipment and production resources strengthens Modular’s delivery capabilities and supports larger-scale projects.

Additionally, this movement contributes to the development of the local ecosystem, generating technical knowledge and training specialized professionals.

Infrastructure as the Foundation of Digital Transformation

The growth of digital applications requires infrastructure capable of keeping pace with technological evolution, with scale and consistency.

With this investment, Modular Data Centers reinforces its role in developing digital infrastructure in Brazil, expanding its ability to support increasingly complex and data-intensive operations.

Rack density, cooling models, and electrical architecture are evolving in increasingly shorter cycles. This dynamic is changing the way the industry plans capacity expansion and investment in digital infrastructure.

In this context, modularity is gaining relevance as an approach capable of dealing with the speed of technological change.

The New Generation of Chips and the Impact on Data Center Design

During the latest edition of CES in Las Vegas, Jensen Huang, president of NVIDIA, presented new details about the Vera Rubin architecture, the successor to current platforms designed for intensive Artificial Intelligence workloads.

Beyond the performance leap, the new generation of CPUs and GPUs brings direct implications for facility design. Thermal dissipation can reach approximately 260 kW per rack, with heat removal carried out entirely by liquid cooling systems using fluid at ambient temperature.

This model changes the traditional thermal design of data centers. Systems based on chillers and chilled water are no longer the only reference in high-density projects, while solutions such as dry coolers or cooling towers are beginning to gain space in certain architectures.

At the same time, technological evolution also points to changes in electrical infrastructure. The roadmap announced by the industry includes the possibility of a gradual migration from alternating current to direct current power supply in future architectures designed for intensive AI workloads.

These transformations indicate that data center design must adapt to a technological environment that is constantly evolving.

Technology Cycles Becoming Increasingly Shorter

Significant technological changes in infrastructure used to occur over longer intervals. Today, the evolution cycle is around 12 to 18 months.

This interval directly impacts investment decisions. Data centers are traditionally planned to operate for many years and often consider return horizons longer than a decade.

When technical parameters change over such short periods, the risk increases that an architecture may need to be updated before completing its financial cycle. Changes in computational density, thermal models, and electrical distribution may require significant adaptations to existing facilities.

The CAPEX Challenge in a Rapidly Evolving Environment

Data center projects involve significant investments in physical infrastructure, power, and support systems. In a technological environment that evolves rapidly, CAPEX decisions must account for higher levels of uncertainty.

Facilities designed to operate for many years may require important technical revisions as new generations of hardware and new infrastructure models become established.

In this context, there is a growing need for design approaches capable of accommodating technological changes over time.

Modularity as a Design Approach

Modularity emerges as a way to respond to this environment of continuous technological evolution.

Instead of deploying the full capacity of a data center in a single phase, modular design allows facilities to be built in progressive blocks. Each new phase can incorporate technological updates related to computational density, cooling, or electrical distribution.

This approach allows investment to follow the pace of technological change.
 As Marcos Paraíso, Vice President of Business Development at Modular Data Centers, explains: “Modular design combined with prefabrication, an approach we use at Modular Data Centers, allows each investment cycle to be aligned with the technology available at the time, while also enabling growth of dozens or even hundreds of megawatts.”

Infrastructure Prepared to Evolve

The expansion of Artificial Intelligence is redefining technical requirements for data centers around the world. High-density environments, new thermal solutions, and changes in electrical architecture point to a scenario of constant evolution.

With the rapid advancement of AI, infrastructure projects are beginning to consider not only installed capacity, but also the ability to adapt over time.

The project brings together the public and private sectors to create a national AI infrastructure, with modern, secure data centers designed to operate strategic data within Brazilian territory.

Modular is responsible for the project’s physical infrastructure, providing modular and industrialized data centers that enable rapid expansion, a high level of security, and operational efficiency.

Launched in Piauí, SoberanAI emerges as a model that can be replicated on a national scale, reinforcing Brazil’s role in building its own digital infrastructure that is sustainable and strategic.
