Google Cloud announced at its Brazil Summit this week that it intends to double its technical infrastructure in the country by 2030. The company aims to increase localized compute, storage, and high-performance AI processing to meet the demand for its AI solutions.
As announced in a press release, Google Cloud G4 virtual machines powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs are now available in the São Paulo cloud region. This gives Brazilian and Latin American enterprises access to cutting-edge AI accelerators that deliver the high throughput required for heavy inference and real-time workloads on secure infrastructure closer to their users and data.
“As businesses are deploying more agentic AI, customers are telling us that they often run into the same three problems: cost, unclear business value, and the need for enterprise-grade controls,” said Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud Chief Executive Officer. “Google Cloud’s integrated stack addresses these challenges for organizations everywhere—giving them the secure infrastructure, models, and platform they need to confidently scale their AI ambitions.”
In addition to launching a range of new offerings and capabilities to its Brazil cloud region, Google Cloud is expanding its Forward-Deployed-Engineers, specialized AI engineers embedded directly into customer technical teams, assisting with the development of core business applications.
Furthermore, Google Cloud will provide 10,000 free certification vouchers for developers in Brazil to support the local technical ecosystem. The company aims to upskill three million Brazilians in AI and cloud technologies, offering industry-recognized credentials including Associate Cloud Engineer and Generative AI Leader certifications.
Google Cloud launched its cloud region in São Paulo state in 2017 and features three availability zone. The company operates data centers in Canelones, Uruguay as well as in Quilicura, Chile.
Latin America is a growing market for digital technology, especially data centers. A recent report from CBRE, covered by w.media, revealed Latin America’s data center capacity is growing faster than the US and Asia-Pacific. São Paulo, Brazil, remains the regional leader with a combined capacity of 536.7 MW. The country is not without its problems as power procurement, currency volatility, and macroeconomic uncertainty, create significant challenges for buildouts.
