Eastern Communications has partnered with ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT Inc., to secure colocation slots in a state-of-the-art data center facility in Laguna.
With this, Eastern establishes a point of presence in ePLDT’s VITRO Data Center soon to rise Sta. Rosa, Laguna to provide connectivity solutions to enterprises and hyperscalers who will soon colocate in the facility.
This partnership also steps up Eastern Communications’ operational capacity in disaster recovery by adding a redundancy system for its data services.
By acquiring colocation slots with state-of-the-art data center facilities like VITRO Data Centers, Eastern becomes more capable of catering to the requirements of hyperscalers venturing into the country.
As the country’s first and largest data center provider, ePLDT has 10 state-of-the-art VITRO Data Centers strategically located across the country with more in the pipeline. Up next is the 11th facility in Sta. Rosa where Eastern Communications will colocate.
Once launched in early 2024, VITRO Sta. Rosa will be the largest, most advanced, and first true hyperscale data center in the Philippines, with a five-hectare property and a total facility capacity of 50 megawatts.
