The ST Telemedia Global Data Centers Philippines' (STT GDC Philippines) data center in Fairview, Quezon City promises increased capacity to support digital connectivity services to millions of Filipino customers as early as 2025.
STT GDC Philippines is a joint venture of Globe, the Ayala Corporation, and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centers.
Aside from being the largest data center in the country, the Fairview site is being designed to serve an IT capacity of 124MW, making it the "most interconnected, sustainable, and carrier-neutral" data campus.
STT GDC Philippines President and CEO Carlo Malana said the area for the Fairview site has been "leveled out and prepared for construction."
The data center will be put to the test once the initial phase of its operations begins in the first quarter of 2025.
"We expect to continue to stay on track for our early 2025 ready-for-service date that we have announced in the past. So looking forward to that," he added.
STT GDC Philippines is also expanding its other data centers in Makati, Cavite, and Quezon City, which will provide a combined capacity of 5.2MW set for the third quarter of this year.
Globe said the Fairview build and their expansion plans are outcomes of high market demand and the push for digitalization in the country.
"Digital is expanding everywhere. And of course, there's a need for data centers to be able to support this digital expansion," said Malana.
