VITRO Inc., the data center division of the PLDT Group and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ePLDT, has posted a 36 percent year-on-year revenue increase in its colocation business for the first half of the year. This marks the company’s strongest performance to date, driven by heightened demand from financial institutions, the public sector, and global hyperscalers.
Colocation remains central to VITRO’s growth strategy, with rising demand boosting both its data center and connectivity operations. The company’s president and CEO, Victor S. Genuino, highlighted VITRO Santa Rosa (VSR) as a key driver of this success, meeting the needs of enterprises and hyperscalers alike. He also emphasized the importance of stronger data localization policies to accelerate cloud and AI adoption, which would further benefit the local data center industry.
VSR, designed to support AI workloads and large-scale deployments, boasts a total power capacity of 50MW and holds a Rated-3 certification, with Rated-4 readiness. It is fully integrated with other VITRO sites and key international fiber networks, providing unmatched network resilience.
In addition, VSR houses ePLDT’s GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), allowing enterprises to run demanding AI and high-compute workloads without major infrastructure investment.
As AI adoption continues to grow, VITRO is already planning its 12th data center and has identified new sites for future expansion. The PLDT Group’s ongoing investment in data centers aligns with its broader commitment to digital transformation and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.
