Costed answers: how much does a rack cost?, cross-connect pricing, colocation or cloud? — and the colocation price barometer.
Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in São João de Meriti, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):
| Item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| 5 kW rack, per month | €850 – €1,500 |
| Cost per kW per month | €150 – €270 |
| Over 3 years (36 months) | €30,600 – €54,000 |
Amounts are in euros: the model is computed in EUR, including for markets outside the euro area. We do not show a BRL conversion until a dated, sourced rate backs it.
What this covers: local industrial energy tariff, site efficiency (PUE), retail colocation margin and local market tightness. What it does not: IP transit, cross-connects, setup fees and PDUs — priced site by site in the comparator.
An estimate, not an offer. It is a model, with an open method and a version — not a contractual rate. A quote prices your actual configuration. Think the model is wrong? The method is published: tell us where.
Compare data centers in São João de Meriti →São João de Meriti has 3 data centers, operated by Equinix, Scala, ODATA S.A.. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one. Available formats range from 1 baie to 1 baie: you can start small here, without renting a whole rack.
Declared certifications: ISO 22301, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2. A certification is verified site by site and carries an expiry date: ask for the certificate, not the logo. Note: part of the operation falls under a US-jurisdiction company, hence under the CLOUD Act. Hosting in Europe is not enough to escape it: what counts is the provider's nationality, not the building's address.
A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in São João de Meriti are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 51.8% of its electricity from hydro (2025). The detail: hydro 51.8%, wind 15.7%, solar 11.8%, natural gas 7.3%, bioenergy 7.3%, coal 2.3%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 11.3% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 110 g of CO2, i.e. 4.2 times less than the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 3.9 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

No earthquake of magnitude 5 or above has been recorded within 200 km of São João de Meriti since 1970, according to the US Geological Survey's global catalog. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

No Internet exchange point is listed here: traffic will run over transit bought from a carrier, which is billed by bandwidth. No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.
The nearest site outside São João de Meriti is 5 km away, in Duque de Caxias. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
