Megaport’s NaaS platform enables fast, easy,
and secure cloud connectivity to Mexico-based and global
multinational enterprises
Megaport Limited (ASX: MP1) ("Megaport"), a global leading
Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, today announces plans to
expand services to Mexico via a partnership with KIO Networks, the
country’s largest data centre provider. Cloud connectivity services
to Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are expected to be available in
March 2022 to local enterprises via on-ramps from KIO Networks’
data centres in Mexico City and Queretaro, subject to
approvals.
Customers of KIO Networks in Mexico will be able to access
Megaport’s leading ecosystem of more than 700 enabled data centres
worldwide and over 360 service providers, including 230+ cloud
on-ramps from the world's leading clouds such as AWS, Google Cloud,
Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. Businesses in Mexico
can seamlessly and directly connect to cloud and IT services on a
global level without the need to manage complex network
infrastructure.
According to IDC, Mexico is the second largest market in Latin
America when it comes to cloud adoption. In the report “IDC Latin
America IT Investment Trends 2021,” 39% of organisations in the
region plan to invest in the cloud. In Mexico, Microsoft, AWS, and
Oracle Cloud have all announced plans for new cloud regions in the
past year. The country is also the second largest data center
market in Latin America, with the multi-tenant data centre market
growing at an expected 22 percent CAGR through 2025, according to
an August 2021 report from 451 Research.
KIO Networks has 40 state-of-the-art data centres across Mexico,
Guatemala, Panama, Dominican Republic, and Spain, as well as 11
edge facilities in Mexico. The company has over 20 megawatts of
installed operational capacity.
Megaport’s partnership with KIO Networks will bring strong value
to local businesses in Mexico seeking a broad range of service
providers and greater access to direct cloud connectivity as they
increasingly adopt hybrid cloud and multicloud architectures.
Businesses with global IT footprints will also be able to take
advantage of Megaport’s presence in KIO Networks data centres in
Mexico to connect to public clouds and other services on demand.
The ability to provision IT backbone capacity between service
regions, cloud regions, and data centres in near real-time via
Megaport’s private Software Defined Network accelerates the growth
of hybrid cloud and multicloud capabilities globally and supports
data growth and localisation of mission-critical applications.
“KIO Networks is excited to offer our customers Megaport’s
leading global Network as a Service platform as a quick and easy
way to connect their businesses to cloud services for hybrid cloud
and multicloud environments inside our data centres in Mexico,”
said Santiago Suinaga, Managing Director of KIO Networks. “We
believe the partnership gives our customers the agility,
flexibility, and scalability they need for their digital
transformation initiatives to be successful.”
“Mexico has proven to be one of the leading cloud markets in
Latin America and has been growing at a rapid rate over the last
several years,” said Vincent English, CEO at Megaport. “Megaport is
very excited to partner with KIO Networks to launch our services in
Mexico, which will provide the opportunity for our existing
customers to grow with Megaport and create new opportunities for
Megaport to service businesses in Mexico. We look forward to
working with KIO Networks and our cloud partners to meet the
growing demand for cloud-based services in Mexico.”
