trategic Investment to Provide State-of-the-Art, Cost-Effective Solutions to Global Customers in Latin America

ODATA, a leading Latin American data center provider focused on serving the needs of hyperscale cloud companies and enterprises across multiple industries announced today a partnership with CyrusOne Inc. (NASDAQ: CONE), a premier global data center REIT with more than 45 data centers worldwide serving approximately 1,000 customers, including more than 200 Fortune 1000 companies and 9 of top 10  hyperscale cloud companies in the world. Through the agreement, CyrusOne is making an investment in exchange for a minority equity interest in ODATA Brasil S.A. and ODATA Colombia S.A.S. (collectively “ODATA”).

Brazil is the largest and fastest-growing data center market in Latin America and ODATA is well-positioned to capture much of this growth. The company currently has over 12 megawatts (“MW”) of capacity with plans to develop over 100 MW in Brazil, and will soon be launching construction in Colombia.  ODATA is majority owned by Patria Infrastructure Fund III, managed by Patria Investments (“Patria”), a leading private equity firm in Brazil.

In connection with this investment, CyrusOne and ODATA entered a commercial agreement covering leasing activity with CyrusOne customers in the ODATA portfolio.  In addition, Kevin Timmons, CyrusOne’s chief technology officer, will join the ODATA board of directors.

“We are thrilled with the investment and endorsement by CyrusOne, and we look forward to working with their team as we scale the business,” said Ricardo Alario, chief executive officer of ODATA. “CyrusOne is a leader and innovator in the data center industry, and their design and construction expertise will be valuable in delivering timely, cost-efficient builds to hyperscale companies.”

“We are excited to partner with Patria and the ODATA team as they scale their business throughout Latin America. To date, Brazil and other LATAM markets have largely been served by a limited number of providers, leading to few options and high costs for our customers. The combination of our collective resources will form the basis of a powerful platform from which we can better serve these customers’ increasingly global needs.” said Gary Wojtaszek, president and chief executive officer of CyrusOne. “Through Patria, which holds a number of investments across the communications infrastructure space, customers in ODATA’s facilities will have access to both dark fiber and lit services via Vogel Telecom, another portfolio company. At the same time, we will work with ODATA, helping the company build a scalable platform that can deliver high quality facilities at the lowest cost.”
