McAllen, TX, June 20, 2017 – MDC Data Centers (MDC), the leading colocation provider on the US-Mexico border, announced today the opening of two new data centers as part of its expansion program along the US-Mexico border. The company has long been recognized as the Gateway to Mexico for global network operators due to its successful interconnection-first, carrier-neutral colocation data center model in the city of McAllen.
With these new interconnection hubs in Laredo and El Paso, MDC strengthens its value proposition on the US-Mexico border by becoming the only carrier-neutral provider with presence in the three largest communication gateways between Mexico and the United States within the state of Texas.
Key benefit to clients: Diversity and Choice
- in colocation facilities
- in fiber crossing into and out of Mexico
- in fiber routes coming into and out of these border markets
- in interconnection opportunities
This diversity and choice are further strengthened by partners such as FiberLight who announced last month at the International Telecoms Week that it has committed to building new fiber routes into MDC’s new data centers.
“Flexibility of choice is what makes us such a good fit with MDC, we both believe that customers should have the right to choose what works best for them,” said Ron Kormos, Chief Strategy Officer for FiberLight. “That is why we have committed to and are currently building into MDCs new and existing data centers.”
When commenting on the expansion, Juan Salazar, CEO of MDC said, “We are taking our proven model of neutrality, carrier density, and international fiber crossings to Laredo and El Paso. Two critical markets for the telecommunication industry in and out of Mexico.” Further adding, “This growth represent a continuation of MDC’s mission of becoming the leading colocation provider along the entirety of the US-Mexico border —from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.”
