Elea Data Centers’ POA1 facility is strategically situated in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. This prime location is specifically engineered to provide high speed, low latency connections across southern Brazil and into neighboring South American countries. By leveraging its geographic position and robust partnerships, the facility ensures that critical infrastructure remains highly responsive, making it a vital hub for regional data exchange and 10 peering networks.

To meet varying business scales, POA1 offers a wide array of colocation solutions designed for flexibility.

These setups are supported by dedicated power circuits and Elea Cross Connect services, allowing for seamless physical and virtual interconnections within the data center ecosystem.

Beyond physical space, Elea provides an extensive suite of managed services through strategic partnerships. These include Smart Hands for on site technical assistance, general managed services, and specialized infrastructure support. These offerings allow businesses to offload the complexities of hardware maintenance and day to day operations to expert technicians, ensuring their systems are always optimized.

Reliability is a cornerstone of the Elea commitment, with the facility adhering to a strict 99.99% availability standard. The infrastructure is built with high level redundancy to prevent downtime, featuring N+1 configurations for UPS systems, cooling, and standby power. This ensures that even in the event of equipment failure or local power outages, the data center remains fully operational.

The POA1 facility employs a rigorous, multi tiered security strategy to protect client data and hardware. Physical security is maintained through four distinct access levels, supported by 24/7 on site security personnel. Electronic safeguards include proximity card access control and comprehensive CCTV surveillance, ensuring that only authorized individuals can enter the premises and that all activity is continuously monitored.

The purpose built facility spans 951 sq.m. and is designed for heavy duty industrial use, featuring a raised floor with a maximum load capacity of 1,200 kg per sq.m. Elea maintains elite industry certifications to guarantee data integrity and operational standards, including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3 Type 2. These certifications reflect a commitment to international best practices in security and financial reporting controls.

Understanding that IT teams often need to work on site, Elea provides a comfortable and functional environment for its clients. The facility includes dedicated work stations, a meeting room, and building wide WiFi to facilitate collaboration. Additionally, the site offers practical conveniences such as a dedicated Meet Me Room for carrier interconnection and secure, on site private parking for visiting technicians and executives.
