ELEA DATA CENTERS EARNS 2025 FROST & SULLIVAN TRANSFORMATIONAL INNOVATION LEADERSHIP RECOGNITION
Elea Data Centers, Brazil’ s leading sustainable data centre platform and one of the first to deploy Artificial Intelligence at scale in Latin America, has received the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Transformational Innovation Leadership recognition – the consultancy’ s highest global honour for companies reshaping their industries.
The award places Elea among the most innovative organisations evaluated worldwide and underscores its ability to advance compute density, sustainability, geographic expansion and operational resilience in parallel.
The recognition follows a rigorous 12-month evaluation by Frost & Sullivan that included sector analysis, global benchmarking and technical review by analysts and specialists.
The assessment focuses on two pillars – the capacity to transform markets through consistent innovation and the tangible impact delivered to customers across the full operational lifecycle of solutions.
Only a small share of companies assessed globally meet these standards.
Frost & Sullivan’ s report highlights Elea as a catalyst for change in Brazil’ s digital infrastructure by integrating geographic scale, high density computing, renewable energy and large scale AIready developments.
Initiatives supporting the decision include the Rio AI City project with up to 3.2 GW of projected capacity powered by renewable energy, Petrobras’ 30 MVA data centre featuring advanced liquid cooling and supercomputing support, a nationwide platform spanning five states with low latency architecture and direct subsea connectivity and proven resilience during the 2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul when its POA1 facility remained fully operational.
The recognition arrives as global digital infrastructure confronts accelerating AI workloads, rising energy costs and mounting efficiency and sustainability demands worldwide today.
accelerating demand for scalable liquid cooling solutions for high-density AI workloads.
The order comprises LiquidStack’ s high-capacity CDU-1MW, designed to support rapid deployment, high-performance, operational efficiency and future scalability for the nextgeneration data centre environments.
The customer, a long-established operator with a growing portfolio of AI-ready facilities across the United States, selected LiquidStack as its liquid cooling partner to support the expansion of AI-ready, high-density infrastructure.
LiquidStack’ s manufacturing and delivery capabilities enable the accelerated fulfilment of the 300-megawatt order, supporting aggressive build-out timelines across the multiple sites.
LiquidStack, a global, full-service leader in liquid cooling for data centres, has announced a 300-megawatt order of Coolant Distribution Unit( CDU) capacity from a major US-based data centre operator. The multi-site order will support AI-ready data centre deployments and underscores
