we want to make sure we have the scale . One of the key things for global cloud providers is that they want to see a runway – they want to see the ability to scale when they look at viable locations .
“ So we provided strategic runways for both Fairview and Cavite , our two main campuses , and we also have three sites where not only can we fulfil their needs in the very near future – but also in the years to come .”
STT GDC Philippines began construction of a second facility in its STT Cavite data centre campus just six months after STT Fairview , which brings the total number of data centres operated by the company in the Philippines to seven .
Clearly , STT GDC Philippines is positioning itself for the future digital needs of the region , while also serving domestic demand . Malana says co-location is a further opportunity .
