Data center in Brazil or Data center abroad: what's the difference?

[najmulislam77]

One of the benefits that the Internet has made possible is the globalization of the economy. Today, it is possible to purchase goods and services from any country without leaving home. This increases competitiveness and makes national and international companies do their best to win customers from all over the world, whether in terms of price or quality. Here, it has become culturally established that “everything that comes from abroad is better”. But is that really true? For example, do you know the difference between having a server hosted in a foreign data center and having one hosted in Brazil ? We’ll explain.

Cost of a datacenter abroad and in Brazil
Not long ago, it was said that it was cheaper to have a costa rica telegram lead server hosted in an American data center, for example. The justification was that, as the country is a hub of innovation, the cost of infrastructure and maintenance would be more affordable than domestic solutions. However, with the popularization of technology, it is possible to offer a service that is as good or much better than foreign ones, with a great advantage in the pocket : no IOF incidence for international services, and no concern about exchange rate fluctuations .

Lower or higher latency
In simple terms, latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from one point to another. When you have an application hosted on a server, your client sends a request to it, which travels to the datacenter, where it is processed and returned to the user. Technologies may evolve, but the laws of physics remain the same: the distance (and consequently, the latency) is shorter when the datacenter is closer – that is, in Brazil .

Quality in datacenter service
We have already mentioned that technological innovation in data centers is not a problem in Brazil when it comes to competing with other countries. But here we are ahead when it comes to support . Anyone who has a hosting service outside of Brazil has already experienced translation problems or delays in resolving problems – the time zone is also a factor that does not contribute to good service, especially if it is an emergency.
