墨西哥节点，开服！
刚刚，阿里云墨西哥数据中心正式启用！这是阿里云在拉美区域的第一座数据中心，为中国出海企业及当地客户提供世界一流的产品及服务。
阿里云墨西哥数据中心首批上线的产品涵盖弹性计算、云存储、网络服务和容器技术等核心云计算能力，核心产品价格低于其他主流国际云厂商，以满足拉美市场上各行各业对云服务的迅猛需求。未来，阿里云还将继续在当地市场加大生态和服务体系建设投入。
阿里巴巴集团副总裁、阿里云智能国际总裁袁千表示，墨西哥作为拉美数字经济的领导者之一，拥有充满活力的年轻一代，互联网普及率超过70%，初创企业数量在过去五年增长了35%。阿里云将通过先进的云技术和资源，助力这些年轻创新者实现梦想，推动墨西哥数字经济向更高层次发展。
近年来，拉美地区开始广泛使用云计算和大数据等新兴技术。2022年，阿里云首次在墨西哥城设立客户服务中心，为当地客户提供本地团队支持。阿里云与拉美当地Soft180、CONTPAQi、Coonectate、UST、Sobot、Viko、YunTek、Whale Cloud、VDE Suite和Dexmi等头部企业达成合作，共同为拉美客户提供更完善的解决方案。
CONTPAQi是墨西哥知名的企业管理软件解决方案提供商，专注会计、税务、薪资管理和商业运营领域。通过采用阿里云的云计算服务，CONTPAQi为旗下中小企业提供了灵活、可扩展且安全可靠的云端财务、电子票据及库存管理服务。
“我们很荣幸成为阿里云的战略合作伙伴，为本地企业提供定制化解决方案，这将推动墨西哥商业生态的转型升级。”CONTPAQi数字化转型总监Javier Santana表示，“我们始终以促进中小企业成长为使命。通过与阿里云的合作，我们有信心将数字化转型推向新高度，惠及墨西哥当地数百万企业。”
墨西哥IT企业Limac选择阿里云弹性资源与安全方案拓展区域业务。其CEO José Limón表示：“阿里云可靠的云基础设施使我们能合规地部署本地资源，为数百万中小企业数字化转型提供支持。”
近年来，阿里云在国际市场增长迅速，市场规模五年增长20倍以上。去年五月，阿里云宣布新一轮全球基础设施扩建计划，将在泰国、墨西哥、马来西亚、菲律宾和韩国投资新建数据中心。目前，阿里云在全球29个地域覆盖87个可用区，是中国最大、亚太第一的云服务提供商。
