Positivo Servers & Solutions

What Positivo Servers & Solutions does

Positivo Servers & Solutions is a Brazilian IT infrastructure vendor headquartered in Paulista (with parent-group operations in Curitiba) that designs, manufactures, and distributes enterprise servers, storage systems, edge computing platforms, workstations, and mini PCs. The company was founded as Accept in 1988, was acquired by Positivo Tecnologia in December 2018, and rebranded under its current name in 2020. Core product lines include Supermicro-based rack servers in 1U, 2U, and 4U form factors powered by Intel Xeon Scalable and AMD EPYC processors, high-density multinode and GPU-accelerated servers (including NVIDIA H200 and HGX B200 platforms for AI workloads), Nutanix-validated hyperconverged systems running Microsoft Azure Stack HCI / Azure Local, edge computing nodes for 5G and O-RAN deployments, and the C3 Micro-cloud Educacional — an offline content-delivery server purpose-built for schools without reliable internet.

The company operates a manufacturing facility in Ilhéus (Bahia) certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 under Brazil's PPB (Processo Produtivo Básico) regime, which unlocks BNDES financing and tax incentives for locally produced IT equipment. It maintains long-standing partnerships with Intel (since 1999, Platinum Technology Provider), Microsoft (since 1999), NVIDIA (since 2008), Supermicro (since 2009, Official System Integrator in Brazil), Mellanox, AMD, and Nutanix. Customers are concentrated in three verticals — government, education, and enterprise — with named deployments including the Brazilian Federal Police (80 high-density servers and 25 large-capacity storage systems across all state capitals), educational groups UNIP and Colégio Objetivo (approximately 4,000 Smart Client units), and SENAC-RN (Microsoft Azure Stack HCI modernization).

Positivo Servers & Solutions generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware sales, subscription-based HaaS (Hardware as a Service) monthly rentals, OEM contract manufacturing for international vendors without Brazilian production facilities, and recurring technical support and warranty contracts. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a four-tier PSS Connect channel partner program, a quote-based RFQ funnel on positivoservers.com.br, and a 24/7 service desk covering all Brazilian states.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Huawei: Kunpeng/Atlas servers and storage products with growing presence in Latin America. Competes in Brazilian enterprise and government RFPs, especially where Chinese vendor financing is offered.
• IBM: Power Systems servers and enterprise storage serving regulated and government customers in Brazil. Overlaps with Positivo's high-end enterprise and Federal accounts but at the premium end of the market.
• Supermicro: Global server ODM/OEM whose reference designs form the basis of most of Positivo's enterprise product line. Functions as both a critical technology partner and a latent competitive threat if Supermicro chooses to enter Brazil directly.
• Cisco (UCS): Unified Computing System servers and HyperFlex HCI. Competes for integrated compute + networking deals in Brazilian enterprises, often paired with Positivo's Mellanox-enabled networking components.

Direct peers

• Lenovo: ThinkSystem servers, ThinkStation workstations, and AI infrastructure. Active in Brazilian enterprise and government accounts, with comparable product mix to Positivo across CPU and GPU servers.
• Dell Technologies: Global enterprise server (PowerEdge), storage, and workstation OEM. Directly competes with Positivo in Brazilian enterprise and government deals, but competes through global scale and an established services network rather than local PPB manufacturing.
• Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE): Sells ProLiant servers, storage arrays, and HCI solutions competing head-to-head with Positivo in Brazilian enterprise and public-sector procurements. Comparable in offering breadth but with significantly larger global R&D and support footprint.

Emerging players

• Inspur: Chinese server OEM with AI-focused GPU systems that increasingly compete in emerging markets. Less established in Brazil than global incumbents but expanding its LATAM channel presence.

Others

• Positivo Tecnologia: Parent company and broader IT hardware group (PCs, tablets, servers, education technology). Not a direct competitor but defines the strategic context — PSS is the server/storage arm within a portfolio that also includes consumer and education IT.

Regional players

• Aceco TI: Brazilian data center and IT infrastructure provider specializing in modular data centers and on-premise infrastructure. Adjacent competitor in Brazil-specific enterprise IT infrastructure deals where local presence matters.
