Locaweb, a cloud hosting and digital services provider based in Brazil, is grappling with rising demand and hardware shortages, forcing the company to reevaluate its data center capacity planning. Chief Technology Officer Gustavo Gomes Salviano emphasized the need for more strategic and rapid decision-making in infrastructure, attributing it to growing customer demands.
Locaweb, which has expanded from a hosting and email provider for small businesses to include e-commerce, marketplace, and financial solutions, is working closely with technology partners, including Dell Technologies Inc., to address supply challenges and ensure service quality. The company is focusing on memory availability, costs, and delivery schedules, actively collaborating with Dell to find alternative hardware configurations.
Salviano highlighted the importance of anticipating demands and re-engineering infrastructure needs to align with delivery timelines.

Dell's partnership with Locaweb is instrumental in understanding the company's business objectives and enabling an IT-driven AI strategy.
