KIO inaugurated the KIO BOG1 in Bogotá, Colombia. Colombia became KIO’s sixth country of operations, the fifth in the Americas and the first in South America. The facility has 5,000 m2 of construction and two data rooms with more than 2,000 m2 of white space and a power capacity of 6 MW for colocation services. The project has additional land to build a second data center with similar characteristics, resulting in a potential capacity of up to 12 MW for the campus. This data center campus has a high availability design and construction, certified by the Uptime Institute at the TIER III level.
“For KIO it is highly strategic to continue expanding in LATAM and we have chosen Colombia because we are convinced of the economic potential and the growing demand for our services in this great country. We are working very well with our investment partners, I Squared Capital, in the execution of our expansion plans,” said Santiago Suinaga, CEO of KIO Data Centers.
In Mexico, KIO announced a major expansion in February with the acquisition of 25,000m2 of land for the construction of its third Data Center in Querétaro. This announcement was added to the investment that the company announced for a second Data Center, KIO QRO2, which began construction in the first quarter of this year, and to the investment made in 2022 to strengthen and expand its KIO QRO1 Data Center. The design and construction of KIO QRO3 is scheduled for 2024.
