Philippine businesses gain seamless access to more than 10,000 global network providers, cloud providers, AI services and enterprises
Equinix, Inc., the world’s digital infrastructure company, inaugurated its operations in the Philippines and introduced Equinix Fabric, including Fabric Cloud Router and Equinix Internet Access.
This secure, high-speed interconnection service gives businesses direct access to leading network, cloud and AI services providers, and enterprises through its private network. This follows the acquisition of three data centers in Manila, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting the Philippines’ growing economy.
As Southeast Asia cements its position as a global digital hub, the Philippines is emerging as one of its fastest-growing markets, with the digital economy expected to expand by 15% to 20% in 2025, driven by stronger infrastructure, thriving e-commerce, and broader AI adoption.
Equinix supports the digital ambitions of the Philippines, allowing businesses to harness the potential of emerging technologies and thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
Through Equinix Fabric, Philippine businesses, including financial and network services customers, can seamlessly interconnect their physical and virtual infrastructures globally. This spurs robust, scalable, and secure growth as they pursue their business strategies, AI initiatives, and international expansion. At the same time, global enterprises entering the Philippine market gain the ability to rapidly scale their infrastructure and extend their reach with minimal friction.
By hosting both global and local carriers, Equinix Fabric enhances network resilience, allowing businesses to diversify their providers, optimize performance, and ensure continuity across borders. With direct access to leading hyperscalers and AI infrastructure partners, enterprises can build hybrid multicloud environments and ramp connectivity up or down as needed to support evolving workloads.
Equinix’s three Philippine High Performance Data Centers —MN1, MN2 and MN3 — enable latency-sensitive data and applications to be stored and distributed closer to end-users, offering over 1,000 cabinets of capacity and room for further expansion within a globally integrated digital ecosystem.
Secretary Frederick D. Go, Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs, Philippines, said that “The entry of Equinix and the introduction of its advanced digital infrastructure solutions signal growing confidence in the Philippines’ digital economy. This development strengthens the country’s position as a key player in the regional data infrastructure landscape and is a step toward fulfilling the administration’s vision of attracting high-value, innovation-driven investments. We welcome Equinix’s contribution to enhancing connectivity and cloud interconnection capabilities, which will help accelerate our digital transformation, empower Filipino enterprises, and open more opportunities for our countrymen.”
Secretary Henry Aguda, Department of Information and Communications Technology, Philippines, added, “Equinix’s expansion in the Philippines complements the DICT’s goal of accelerating the country’s digital ambitions. By bringing world-class services to our shores, we are better positioned to empower businesses, government, and communities to fully participate in the digital economy and help build a more connected, future-ready business environment.”
Cyrus Adaggra, President of Asia-Pacific, Equinix, said, “The Philippines plays a pivotal role in Southeast Asia’s future, with its fast-growing economy, young workforce, and thriving innovation ecosystem. The introduction of our interconnection services will be a game changer in the Philippines, helping businesses digitize more quickly and paving the way for AI adoption. Our goal is to drive this momentum by shortening the path to boundless connectivity, enabling more businesses to scale, expand, and compete globally.”
