Alestra is a Mexican IT and telecommunications company, part of the Axtel/Alfa group, that sells colocation, cloud (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS), connectivity, cybersecurity, and system-integration services to Mexican corporate, government, and financial-sector clients from its own network of data centers in Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City. Alestra’s flagship site was the Querétaro “Alestra Green Data Center,” opened in 2014 as Latin America’s largest data center at the time and the first in the region powered by a gas cogeneration plant; that facility, along with a 2017-built second Querétaro building and one Monterrey site, was sold to Equinix in a $175 million deal completed in January 2020 and now operates as Equinix’s MX1, MX2, and MO1. As of 2026, Alestra/Axtel added a new Monterrey facility to its colocation portfolio by taking over operation of the Uptime Institute Tier III-certified data center inside the CEDES building on Tecnológico de Monterrey’s Campus Monterrey under a 12-year agreement. Alestra’s parent Axtel describes its current network as several “world-class” data centers spread across Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City, positioning the company as a longstanding, if mid-sized, colocation and cloud connectivity player in Mexico rather than a hyperscale or AI-specialized operator.
Alestra operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

Common Questions
Does Alestra still own the Querétaro "Green Data Center" it built?
No. Both Querétaro buildings that made up the Alestra Green Data Center campus — the original 2014 facility and the second building opened in 2017 — were sold to Equinix in a $175 million transaction completed in January 2020 and were renamed Equinix MX1 and MX2, with Axtel retaining only a minority stake.
What happened to Alestra's Monterrey data centers?
Of the historical Monterrey data centers Alestra/Axtel operated, one was sold to Equinix in the 2020 transaction and renamed Equinix MO1, while Alestra retained other Monterrey facilities and, in 2026, took over operation of a new Tier III data center inside the CEDES building on Tecnológico de Monterrey's Campus Monterrey under a 12-year agreement.
Does Alestra have AI/GPU-specific data center infrastructure?
No specific, sourced evidence was found of AI/GPU-optimized infrastructure, liquid cooling, or high-density GPU clusters at any Alestra-operated facility; Alestra's own materials describe its data centers in terms of ERP, virtual servers, big data, backup, storage, and disaster-recovery services rather than AI/ML training infrastructure.
In which Mexican cities does Alestra operate data centers?
Alestra's data center network has historically spanned Monterrey, Guadalajara, Querétaro, and Mexico City, though its Querétaro and one Monterrey facility were later sold to Equinix, leaving Alestra's current own operations concentrated in Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City.
