Megaport Limited announced plans to expand services to Mexico via a partnership with KIO Networks. 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.
