American Marconi Wireless News - Vertical Data and Ascenty Announce Partnership to Deploy AI Infrastructure Across Latin America

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2026 / Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB:VDTA) ("Vertical Data" or the "Company"), an AI infrastructure company providing sovereign cloud, AI hardware, GPU financing, and edge data center solutions, today announced a partnership with Ascenty, the largest data center and connectivity platform in Latin America. Vertical Data and Ascenty, reached a Reseller and Referral Agreement, the parties will combine capabilities to support the deployment of artificial intelligence workloads across Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Colombia.

The collaboration establishes a clear division of capabilities for AI infrastructure deployment in the region. Vertical Data will orchestrate hardware procurement, financing, operating models and managed services, while Ascenty will act as the infrastructure and data center operations pillar in Latin America, delivering regional scale, connectivity, sustainability and operational excellence. The combined offering is designed to give enterprises, operating in the region and from abroad, access to AI compute environments that meet the same technical, operational and governance standards adopted in North America and Europe.

"Latin America has the data center capacity and connectivity foundation needed to host AI workloads at scale," said Deven Soni, Chief Executive Officer at Vertical Data. "What enterprises in the region have been missing is consistent access to the hardware, financing and operating layer that converts that capacity into deployed compute. Ascenty has built one of the most sophisticated data center platforms outside of North America and Europe, and this partnership allows us to bring our model directly to enterprises operating across the region."

"Our customers are increasingly demanding robust, scalable environments to support AI and high-performance computing workloads. Ascenty provides the infrastructure foundation, while Vertical Data brings a complementary layer of hardware procurement, financing, and managed services that simplifies deployment. This partnership allows us to offer a more complete solution, enabling companies across Latin America to accelerate their AI initiatives," said Vinícius Minetto, Sales Director at Ascenty.

Partnership Highlights

• Regional reach. The partnership provides Vertical Data with access to Ascenty's footprint of 40 data centers in Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Colombia, of which 27 are currently in operation and 13 are under development.

• Complementary capabilities. Vertical Data contributes hardware procurement, financing, operating models and managed services. Ascenty contributes colocation, carrier-neutral connectivity, high-density and liquid cooling infrastructure, and renewable energy capacity.

• Reciprocal opportunity flow. Either party may introduce opportunities involving GPU infrastructure, GPU financing, AI workloads or other strategic solutions, with agreed mechanisms for deal registration, pricing alignment and go-to-market coordination.

• Three commercial models. The parties may operate under Joint Go-To-Market models, Referral Partners, or Resell Partners.

• Sustainable infrastructure. Ascenty has operated with 100% renewable electricity certified by IRECs since 2020, neutralized 100% of its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in 2025, and runs closed-loop cooling systems resulting in a water usage effectiveness of zero.

• Enterprise-grade governance. Ascenty's operations are supported by ISO 14001, 50001, 45001 and 37001 certifications, making the platform suitable for regulated industries with strict compliance, security and operational requirements.

Demand for AI compute across Latin America has been accelerating as enterprises in financial services, telecommunications, government and other regulated sectors operationalize artificial intelligence within the region. Ascenty's data centers are designed to support energy and cooling intensive workloads, including GPU clusters, AI training environments and inference applications, with cooling architectures prepared for high-density environments including liquid cooling. Through this partnership, Vertical Data will be positioned to support enterprise customers that require AI compute capacity in Latin America while maintaining the technical and governance standards typically associated with deployments in more mature markets.

The partnership extends Vertical Data's international footprint, complementing the Company's recently established subsidiaries in Sweden and Canada, and supports its continued focus on capital-efficient deployment of AI infrastructure through collaborations with established regional operators.
