Amazon.com Inc.’s cloud services chief says the company is aggressively expanding server farms globally and looking to boost access to the latest artificial intelligence chips from Nvidia Corp.

Amazon Web Services, the world’s largest seller of rented computing power and data storage, opened a cluster of data centers in Mexico earlier this year, AWS Chief Executive Officer Matt Garman said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television. The cloud division is also building out new facilities in Chile, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan, Garman said.
