01 / WHAT IT BUILT

What the company did

Odata Brasil (ODATA) was a Brazilian data center service provider offering scalable, reliable, and flexible IT infrastructure in Latin America, focused on serving hyperscale cloud companies. Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Ricardo Alario, it was majority owned by Patria Investments' Infrastructure Fund III (90%), with CyrusOne holding a 10% strategic stake (a $12 million investment in 2018). With operational facilities across Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile and additional data centers under development, it became one of the fastest-growing hyperscale data center platforms in Latin America, with a footprint of about 2 GW across 30 sites at full buildout and a renewable-energy strategy targeting 100% green energy. On December 13, 2022, Aligned Data Centers — majority owned by funds managed by Macquarie Asset Management — announced a definitive agreement to acquire ODATA from Patria Investments and other selling stakeholders (reported at about $1.8 billion including debt), with a structured minority investment from SDC Capital Partners, marking Aligned's entry into Latin America.
