PLDT vice-president and ICT Business for Enterprise head Nico Alcoseba said: “To support the growing needs of global technology giants and cloud service providers expanding in the region, we at the PLDT Group are proud to announce that we will be building the first hyperscaler data centre facility in the Philippines.

“This hyperscaler data centre is a first of its kind. It will have more power capacity in one facility versus all our 10 VITRO data centres combined. It will also be designed to be global class in energy efficiency and reliability and will make use of the latest in green technology.”

Currently, the company operates the largest data centre network in the Philippines with its VITRO Data Center facilities which are located in different strategic locations.

These facilities are connected to PLDT’s extensive participation in 14 international submarine cable systems and one terrestrial system, which carries data traffic in and out of the country.

Three more new submarine cables including Jupiter Cable system, Apricot Cable, and Asia Direct Cable are in construction phase.
