The first phase will be ready by the end of 2023 according to Michael Ortiz, CEO of Layer 9 Mexico, and will be located in the municipality of Apaseo el Grande, in the Amistad Chuy María Industrial Park, covering an area of more than 74 thousand square meters. .

Both the park and Guanajuato have the necessary characteristics for the installation of a project of this magnitude, such as energy, connectivity, raw materials, human talent and the capacity of the government to support them with this type of initiative. The industrial park was designed with a 40 MVA substation that can be expanded.

“It is a long-term investment and we seek stability. We have more projects outside of Mexico, but this is our first data center in the country and it will be the largest in Latin America,” he reported.
