Elea Data Centers Secures Landmark Petrobras Contract for São Paulo Facility

Oct 6, 2025
Elea Data Centers has won a R$2.3 billion contract to build a 30 MVA data center for Petrobras in São Paulo, marking the largest IT infrastructure deal in Latin America.

Elea Data Centers has been awarded a significant contract to construct a 30 megavolt-amperes (MVA) data center for Petrobras in São Paulo, announced in a press release. The R$2.3 billion (approximately US$0.5 billion) agreement is the largest IT infrastructure contract ever awarded in Latin America.

The new facility will be located at Elea's São Bernardo do Campo campus and will feature advanced liquid cooling technology to support Petrobras' supercomputers and AI workloads. The data center will be powered entirely by renewable energy, aligning with Petrobras' sustainability goals.

This project further establishes Elea's leadership in sustainable digital infrastructure, following other initiatives like the Rio AI City. The São Paulo data center will play a crucial role in processing critical scientific data for Petrobras' exploration and research operations.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
