Eveo Expands Northeast Brazil Presence with V.tal Data Center

Eveo’s expansion centers on the Recife1 data center, part of Atlantic Data Centers, a unit now controlled by V.tal. V.tal acquired Um Telecom and its Atlantic subsidiary in May 2026, following an initial deal revealed in May 2025.

The Recife1 facility has a projected capacity of 6MW across three phases, with total estimated investment standing at 300 million reais, roughly US$54 million. The first phase secured 41 million reais, about US$7.2 million, in financing from development bank BNDES via the Funttel fund.

Why Recife and Not Just Fortaleza

This new site complements Eveo’s existing Tier 3 data center in Fortaleza, operational since 2024. Recife sits about 800km from Fortaleza, a distance Eveo argues makes serving the entire region from a single location impractical for latency-sensitive applications.

With this move, Eveo now covers the Northeast’s two primary hubs. The company’s client base in the region grew 62% over the past year and has climbed 272% since regional operations began two years ago, according to BNamericas reporting.

GPU Demand Is Part of the Story

Eveo attributes its growth to strong demand for dedicated servers and private cloud, along with a rising need for dedicated GPU capacity for artificial intelligence projects. Companies in the region increasingly want local operations to cut latency and improve availability for critical applications.

Infrastructure location is more than a technical decision. It’s a strategic factor for the business, said José Henrique Bermejo, Eveo’s CRO. Being in Fortaleza and, from now on, also in Recife allows us to offer lower latency, greater availability and a much more consistent experience for customers across the northeast.

The Path to Half a Billion Reais

Eveo, founded in 2014, also operates in São Paulo state, Paraná state, and Miami, Florida, using data centers from providers like Ascenty and Equinix. Its portfolio spans:

• Bare metal servers
• Edge private cloud
• Storage
• Disaster recovery

The company aims to reach 500 million reais, or US$90 million, in revenue by 2030, and this expansion is a direct step toward that target.

Hashlytics Take

The 800km distance argument is the part worth noting here. A lot of regional cloud expansion gets framed as generic growth, but Eveo is making a specific latency case for why one data center in the Northeast was never going to be enough. Combined with the GPU demand angle, this looks less like opportunistic expansion and more like Eveo positioning itself as the AI-ready option before larger global players prioritize the region.
