ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) Philippines yesterday unveiled its newest data center in Makati City to address the surging demand for data storage solutions.
This state-of-the-art standalone facility boasts of a 1.2 megawatts (MW) capacity, translating to roughly 100 high-density racks, and is equipped to support loads from 5 to 12kw, the company said.
“The completion of our new data hall in STT Makati is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of excellence and innovation. This facility offers an opportunity for businesses to enjoy the advantages of having collocation space in a next-generation, hyperscaler grade data center for a fraction of the cost,” said Carlo Malana, STT GDC Philippines president and chief executive officer.
As a carrier-neutral facility, STT Makati offers various connectivity avenues, giving clients unmatched flexibility and bespoke connectivity solutions.
Designed to Tier 3 data center standard of at least 99.9 percent expected uptime, the facility employs multiple redundancy measures to ensure all critical systems are highly reliable.
STT Makati is equipped with the highest level of physical security, with several layers of protection from the outside in. It also has an innate advantage being a standalone facility, compared to other facilities in shared spaces.
STT Makati’s newest Data Hall is set to be completed in October, with full-scale operations expected by November 2023, adding to the company’s portfolio following builds in Quezon City and Cavite.
The company is also developing a data center campus in Fairview, Quezon City, set to be operational by early 2025. With an expected capacity of 124 MW, the Fairview facility is poised to become the largest, most interconnected, sustainable and carrier-neutral data center campus in the country.
