Groundbreaking ceremony for STT GDC ’ s sixth data centre in the
Philippines , the STT Fairview campus
“ STT GDC worldwide has already proven the ability to have a company focused on providing efficient , sustainable , reliable , secure data centres ,” he says .
“ Being able to work closely with technology companies from both China and the US is very important . We ’ ve established that reputation and aim to maintain the same standards that they are used to in Singapore , in the UK , and in India – in the Philippines as well . That ’ s our goal .”
In any emerging market there are inevitable headwinds , and Malana identifies three possible hurdles for STT GDC Philippines to overcome .
First , and probably the easiest to overcome in this instance , is the usual challenge associated with setting up and growing a new technology – encouraging widespread adoption . With clear demand , this should not be a problem . Secondly , the increasing need to make data centres more
“ In a country where a 6MW data centre was once considered large , and most were around 2MW or 3MW , we came along announcing 124MW ”
