The PLDT Group, through ICT subsidiary ePLDT, said Friday it plans to build its 12th data center facility to boost its data center market capacity.
Victor Genuino, president and chief executive of ePLDT, said the company’s decision to build the 12th data center is anchored on customers’ needs and its aspirations of delivering digital innovation that would bring more business value to customers and result in inclusive economic growth.
It is also a part of ePLDT’s vision to boost the country’s regional competitiveness and bring much-needed investments, he said.
“We want to be able to help the Philippines be the next hyperscaler hub of Asia while continuing to support the digital transformation journey of different sectors locally,” Genuino said.
The 12th data center will have a power capacity of no less than 100 megawatts. It will further fortify PLDT Group’s data center market leadership in the Philippines while leveraging on the massive infrastructure investment of the country’s largest telecommunication group.
