Amazon to invest over 5 billion dollars in Mexico data center

Amazon will invest more than $5 billion
in a data center in central Mexico, the country’s government and the
e-commerce giant said on Tuesday.

Announcing the investment alongside Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum,
the director of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Latin America, Paula Bellizia,
said the planned center demonstrated Amazon’s “commitment to Mexico.”

AWS is the world’s biggest cloud computing company, with data centers
scattered across the globe storing the flood of data from billions of
smartphones, tablets and other connected devices.

With the emergence of generative AI making demand for data storage bigger
than ever, Amazon has announced new projects around the world.
AWS already has a data center in Brazil and has announced plans for another
two in the Chilean capital Santiago.(AFP)
