Gustavo Gomes Salviano, Locaweb & Diego Puerta, Dell
In this interview from theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories - Data Centers of the Future interview series, Gustavo Gomes Salviano, chief technology officer at Locaweb, and Diego Puerta, Brasil general manager at Dell Technologies, join theCUBE's John Furrier and Dave Vellante to discuss how AI factories and next-generation infrastructure are reshaping enterprise technology in Brasil and beyond. Salviano explains why successful AI adoption starts with business priorities, strong data pipelines and infrastructure designed to support increasingly demanding workloads. Drawing on Locaweb's experience serving businesses across Brasil, he explores how hybrid computing and modernized infrastructure can help small and medium-sized businesses and large enterprises put AI to work while managing cost, complexity and performance. The conversation also examines the challenges of building and deploying AI infrastructure at scale, from GPU availability and component supply constraints to data sovereignty and deployment timelines. Puerta explains how Dell Technologies' manufacturing presence in Brasil and global supply chain capabilities help customers navigate hardware shortages and bring rack-scale AI systems into production faster. He also highlights the growing importance of collaboration between technology providers and customers to design infrastructure that meets specific business and operational requirements. Together, Salviano and Puerta explore how AI factories, hybrid architectures and cloud-enabled infrastructure are creating new opportunities for Brazilian businesses to expand AI adoption, maintain control over their data and compete in an increasingly AI-driven global market.
