Alestra is a Mexican IT and telecommunications services company that sells enterprise cloud, managed colocation, network connectivity, and cybersecurity solutions, operating its own network of data centers across Mexico rather than reselling third-party space. As of the most recent company statements, Alestra runs six data centers concentrated in three Mexican metro areas: three in Monterrey (Nuevo León), one in Guadalajara (Jalisco), and two in Querétaro, the latter branded “Alestra Green Data Center” facilities built around energy-efficiency and cogeneration technology. Its flagship Querétaro campus, opened in 2014 with a second module added in 2017, was the first data center in Latin America powered by onsite natural-gas cogeneration, using waste heat to help drive its cooling systems — an engineering approach that earned it international recognition from ICREA and a CEEDA energy-efficiency certification.
Alestra operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

Common Questions
Where does Alestra operate data centers?
Alestra's own materials and independent trade press describe a network historically cited as five, and more recently six, data centers in Mexico: three in Monterrey, one in Guadalajara, and two in Querétaro (the original 2014 facility plus a second module opened in 2017).
What makes Alestra's Querétaro data center notable?
The Querétaro facility was reported by DatacenterDynamics as the first Latin American data center powered by onsite natural-gas cogeneration, with two plants providing 2.5MW of combined capacity and waste heat reused in the cooling system.
Does Alestra offer AI or GPU-specific infrastructure?
No genuine, specific evidence of AI-optimized or GPU-dedicated infrastructure was found for any Alestra facility; its data centers are described in terms of general enterprise colocation, cloud, and mission-critical hosting rather than AI/ML-purpose-built capacity.
Is Alestra a colocation or cloud provider?
Both — Alestra sells managed colocation (customers can rent rack/data-center space) and its own cloud/IT infrastructure services, and it is recognized as having launched the first enterprise cloud offering in Mexico.
Who owns Alestra?
Alestra is a subsidiary of the Mexican conglomerate Alfa, and operates as the ICT/enterprise-solutions brand of Axtel following Alfa's 2016 acquisition of Axtel.
