Ascenty, a provider of data center and connectivity services in Latin America, and Azion, an edge computing platform that serves 45 of the 50 largest e-commerces in Latin America and some of the largest banks in the region, have entered into a partnership to improve the distribution of edge technology to banks, fintechs and retailers across the continent.
Based on the concept of interconnectivity and to boost results, Azion connected to Ascenty’s operations in São Paulo (SP), Fortaleza (CE) and Santiago de Chile, not only to accommodate equipment, but also to distribute technology to customers.
Unlike the cloud, edge computing decentralizes the processing of requests and requires ultra-low latency for applications, with the ability to handle the most diverse types of devices, maintaining high performance and availability while providing a better user experience. Since the start of the partnership, Azion has seen a 23% improvement in network latency.
“Since the start of our collaboration, we have seen significant improvements. To give you an idea, in more than three years, we have never had a power outage or unavailability. This stability ties in with one of our differentials: a highly available service,” said Rogério Mariano, Global Head of Network Planning at Azion.
