Microsoft Launches the First Hyper-scale Data Center Region in Mexico

Microsoft announced the launch of its first data center region, Mexico Central. The data center hub in Mexico will provide data center services for all organizations worldwide, providing local access to scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud services. According to the IDC Mexico Microsoft Cloud Dividend Snapshot, over the next four years, Microsoft, its partners, and cloud-using customers will together generate globally about USD 70.7 billion in new revenues above the 2024 level.

This will drive investment in local economies and create more than 300,000 jobs in different industries in Mexico. This datacenter region is an important part of Microsoft’s USD 1.1 billion investment plan in Mexico over the upcoming years.

Mexico joins the more than 60 Microsoft data center hubs all over the world and will grow to become the first Microsoft datacenter region Latin America. This hyperscale data center infrastructure allows customers to adjust their systems quickly and easily to meet growing demand. The local hyperscale cloud region will serve Mexican companies that need to run their services on Mexican soil as well as global organizations that want to leverage the Mexican region to accelerate their own digital transformation.

In February 2020, Microsoft announced the establishment of a new cloud datacenter region in Mexico during the president's daily press conference as part of an investment plan to drive Mexico’s digital transformation. Microsoft’s investment in Mexico provides highly available, scalable, and secure cloud services across Mexico, with the option of data residency and improved latency in the country. 

The new cloud region consists of multiple datacenters in Mexico, which are located in the Queretaro Metropolitan Area. It will provide security, privacy, and performance, and will contribute to the acceleration of the digital transition of organizations and public entities in Latin America.

Key Partners in the Project

Among the organizations that are leveraging this new project, Kio Networks, MCM Telecom, and Megaport, the Microsoft Express Route partners, are offering a new set of digital connectivity solutions to Mexican companies and public administrations. Many companies have used the Express Route model since the infrastructure started. They benefit from its private connectivity features.

The Impact of the Microsoft Cloud Region in Mexico

According to IDC research, this new datacenter region will help drive economic growth and contribute to the creation of job opportunities to sustain digital innovation, generating more than 110,000 opportunities for professional services, almost 52,000 in commerce, 43,000 in finance, 58,000 in manufacturing, and 40,000 for communication and media, including jobs directly in their own organizations and jobs generated indirectly in other organizations.
