At ITW 2026, MDC Data Centers CEO Juan Salazar sat down with datacenterHawk to discuss cross-border interconnection, Latin America's infrastructure gap, and MDC's expansion into submarine cable infrastructure with the Manta consortium — landing in…
Every packet traveling between the US and Mexico crosses a physical border. Understanding International Fiber Crossings is no longer just a concern for network engineers — it is a strategic decision that impacts network performance,…
Brownsville, Texas has spent years in the background of the US-Mexico connectivity conversation. That's changing. MDC Data Centers is now constructing a new International Fiber Crossing at the southernmost point of Texas — an infrastructure…
Cancún is not a compute market — but measured by where international traffic enters and exits the Americas, it is becoming one of the most consequential connectivity locations in the hemisphere. With seven submarine cable…
Behind every fiber crossing and colocation deployment, there's a team making it happen. This International Women's Day and Mother's Day, MDC Data Centers recognized the women who power its operations, culture, and customer relationships —…
Infrastructure makes peering possible, but it doesn't make it valuable. The real differentiator of any Internet Exchange is the activity within its ecosystem: which networks are present, which are actually peering, and how meaningfully they…
The AI infrastructure conversation is dominated by megawatts and GPUs, but the fastest-growing AI workload — inference — needs something different: proximity to the networks that serve real users. As inference takes over from training…
Mexico's international traffic used to mean four separate decisions: a landing, a backhaul, a border crossing, and a U.S. interconnection point. That model is starting to break down as content providers, CDNs, and AI workloads…
Mexico's hyperscaler and AI investment boom is driving demand for cross-border fiber connectivity, but the physical routes linking Mexican data center hubs to Dallas, Phoenix, and Los Angeles remain a critical, often overlooked layer. This…
The western US–Mexico corridor is redefining cross-border connectivity through distributed, multi-entry architecture built for resilience and scale. As the second-largest interconnection hub along the border, El Paso has evolved into a structural pillar of the…
