Megaport Limited (ASX: MP1) ("Megaport"), a global leading Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, today announces plans to expand services to Mexico via a partnership with KIO Networks, the country’s largest data centre provider. Cloud connectivity services to Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud are expected to be available in March 2022 to local enterprises via on-ramps from KIO Networks’ data centres in Mexico City and Queretaro, subject to approvals.
Customers of KIO Networks in Mexico will be able to access Megaport’s leading ecosystem of more than 700 enabled data centres worldwide and over 360 service providers, including 230+ cloud on-ramps from the world's leading clouds such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud.

In the report “IDC Latin America IT Investment Trends 2021,” 39% of organisations in the region plan to invest in the cloud. In Mexico, Microsoft, AWS, and Oracle Cloud have all announced plans for new cloud regions in the past year. The country is also the second largest data center market in Latin America, with the multi-tenant data centre market growing at an expected 22 percent CAGR through 2025, according to an August 2021 report from 451 Research.

Megaport’s partnership with KIO Networks will bring strong value to local businesses in Mexico seeking a broad range of service providers and greater access to direct cloud connectivity as they increasingly adopt hybrid cloud and multicloud architectures. Businesses with global IT footprints will also be able to take advantage of Megaport’s presence in KIO Networks data centres in Mexico to connect to public clouds and other services on demand. The ability to provision IT backbone capacity between service regions, cloud regions, and data centres in near real-time via Megaport’s private Software Defined Network accelerates the growth of hybrid cloud and multicloud capabilities globally and supports data growth and localisation of mission-critical applications.
“KIO Networks is excited to offer our customers Megaport’s leading global Network as a Service platform as a quick and easy way to connect their businesses to cloud services for hybrid cloud and multicloud environments inside our data centres in Mexico,” said Santiago Suinaga, Managing Director of KIO Networks. “We believe the partnership gives our customers the agility, flexibility, and scalability they need for their digital transformation initiatives to be successful.”

The Fairest of Them All: Klarna Supercharges Memberships, Removing Fees, Boosting Cashback and Increasing Annual Value to as Much as €6,00013.8.2026 10:09:00 EEST | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, today unveiled its most significant membership upgrade yet. The revamped tiers deliver more cashback, up to €6,000 worth of perks, and remove service fees — built so a Klarna membership pays for itself, and then some. Klarna's improved membership lineup spans four tiers, each built for a different kind of member but all embodying a flexible ethos: pay only for the Klarna that fits your life. Pay later is free at partner stores, or get broader fee-free access with Everywhere (formerly Core), or climb to Plus, Premium or Max for richer cashback rewards, bigger, everyday perks and a growing set of subscriptions and protections. A Klarna membership is a fairer alternative to a credit card by design, and one of the biggest differences is freedom. While other cards tie you in for a year, a Klarna membership moves with you. Upgrade for a big travel month and drop back down when things are quieter, with no penalty and no year-long
