MDC Data Centers: SDG2 Data Center

The SDG2 San Diego Data Center expands MDC’s carrier-neutral ecosystem in Southern California, strengthening the region’s role as a critical interconnection bridge between the United States and Mexico. Designed to complement the SDG1 facility, SDG2 brings additional capacity, improved path diversity, and Tier III–aligned reliability for cross-border networks, cloud operators, and enterprises requiring low-latency routes across Baja California. Situated near major fiber transport corridors in San Diego, SDG2 provides MDC’s signature secure, redundant, and scalable environment purpose-built for border-edge deployments.

⚙️ Facility Highlights
