IBM invests 20 million dollars to launch Project XIV in Guadalajara
This project will be developed at the IBM Guadalajara Campus, one of the company's largest manufacturing sites outside the U.S. The site already exports over 1 billion dollars in complex technology.
Project XIV is a 180 Terabyte-capacity storage device based on IBM's latest hard disk technology.
"This investment will increase Mexico's exports to the world, promote Mexican talent, expand the visibility of the Guadalajara Campus and reinforce the site's 34 years of experience as a manufacturing hub", said Hugo A. Santana Londoño, President and General Manager of IBM in Mexico and Central America.
The team assigned to the project shall be made up of 100 professionals specializing in project administration, industrial engineering, testing, quality assurance, TI system engineering, analysis y diagnostics, project design and thermo solutions.
I would argue that IBM is the high-tech company with more Mexico-based manufacturing investment than any corporation in the world.
