ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) Philippines on Thursday reported completing its newest data hall in Makati City which will serve the surging demand for data storage solutions in the country.
“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,” Carlo Malana, STT GDC Philippines president and chief executive, said.
Data halls are secure areas housed inside data centers.
“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,” he added.
Its standalone facility boasts of a 1.2MW capacity, roughly equal to 100 high-density racks, and equipped to support loads ranging from 5 to 12 kilowatts.
As a carrier-neutral facility, STT Makati offers various connectivity avenues, giving clients flexibility and bespoke connectivity solutions.
Designed to Tier 3 data center standard of at least 99.982 percent expected uptime, the facility employs multiple redundancy measures to ensure all critical systems are highly reliable. It also features eco-friendly ventilation and air conditioning systems, and champions sustainable practices through the use of recycled materials and energy-efficient equipment, a rainwater catchment system, and solar panels to generate energy.
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.
The facility is also built with reliable power and cooling infrastructures, fit for the Philippines’ challenging weather patterns, and fortified with top-tier security measures, offering clients an unmatched blend of digital and physical safeguards.
This unveiling is another chapter in STT GDC Philippines’ portfolio enhancement, amid builds in Quezon City and Cavite.
The company is also developing a data center campus in Fairview, Quezon City, seen 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.
STT GDC Philippines is a partnership between Globe, Ayala Corporation, and Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC).
