KIO Data Centers (formerly KIO Networks) is a Latin American colocation and data center operator that sells rack space, cages, and wholesale/hyperscale halls to enterprise, financial, healthcare, and technology customers across Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Colombia. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Mexico City, the company has been owned by infrastructure investor I Squared Capital since 2021 and now operates more than 20 core, Tier III/IV-class data centers plus a network of modular “ATOM” edge facilities, with a combined core IT capacity in the tens of megawatts. Unlike a hyperscale cloud provider, KIO’s core product is physical colocation space (retail to hyperscale, from under 200kW to multi-megawatt deployments) alongside cloud, connectivity, and managed IT services, and it markets itself as operator of the region’s most interconnected carrier-neutral ecosystem. It previously operated facilities in Spain and the southwestern United States but divested the US sites to Zayo in 2017 (now run by DataBank) and sold its Spanish operations around 2025, refocusing entirely on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Colombia.
KIO Networks operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

AI Data Centers
KIO has started tailoring some of its newer capacity for AI and high-density cloud workloads rather than running dedicated AI-only facilities. Its Querétaro QRO2 site, opened in December 2025, was built partly to meet accelerating cloud and AI demand in the Mexican market, while its planned second Guatemala facility (GTM2) is explicitly described as carrier-neutral, AI-ready infrastructure supporting power densities up to 12 kW per cabinet with an 80% renewable-energy target and 1.5 PUE goal.
