Mexico has a growing data center presence and a strongly growing telecommunications market and digital economy. Strategically located along the submarine cable routes between North and South America, and enjoying terrestrial connectivity to the United States, Mexico is positioned to capitalize on the network density and diversity of its northern neighbor, allowing content, applications and clouds to be localized to serve the needs for low-latency connectivity.
DE-CIX now has two interconnected locations in Mexico, in Mexico City and Queretaro. Mexico City stands as the traditional data center location enterprise, while Queretaro is home to the leading global cloud service providers, with extensive investments in new facilities.
Initially, DE-CIX’s Internet & Cloud Exchanges in Mexico are hosted at KIO data centers. The platforms are connected directly to DE-CIX’s global interconnection ecosystem via DE-CIX Dallas.
Mexico City, with the highest GDP by state in Mexico, is the traditional data center location with a growing telecommunications market and digital economy. The Internet Exchange in Mexico City offers modern enterprise-grade interconnection services, such as cloud connectivity services as well as peering.
DE-CIX Queretaro provides a resilient, secure, and high-performance interconnection platform for internet service providers (ISPs), content and carrier networks, cloud service providers, and enterprises. DE-CIX Queretaro also is initially hosted in a KIO data center.
Queretaro is developing into a new data center and cloud hub. The growing local ecosystem of cloud service providers – with AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, and Google, among others, already on location or planning their market entrance – enables enterprise networks to connect directly to clouds over the DE-CIX Cloud Exchange.
