ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC) has announced its expansion in Asia with the launch of a new carrier-neutral data centre in the Philippines called STT Fairview. The company has described it as “the largest and most interconnected” data centre in the country, and the corporation’s most significant single data centre development project worldwide. With the increasing demand for high-quality colocation facilities in the country, STT GDC aims to provide a cutting-edge data centre to accommodate the growing digital infrastructure requirements in the Philippines.
STT Fairview is the largest and most interconnected data center in the Philippines
The STT Fairview data center campus will consist of heavy-duty facilities offering more than 83,000m² of gross floor space with 124MW of IT load capacity upon its completion. Located in Quezon City, it will provide low-latency colocation facilities for hyperscalers and companies, with sustainably built and operated facilities that align with international standards such as the LEED Gold certification, Uptime Institute Tier III, and TIA-942 Rated 3.
As a response to the organization’s objective to become carbon-neutral in data center operations by 2030, the facilities will also include eco-friendly elements to promote energy and water savings. STT Fairview will feature liquid cooling, which reduces energy consumption, aligning with STT GDC’s efforts towards sustainable and forward-looking business practices.
Digital Economy Growth in the Philippines
The digital economy in the Philippines is expected to grow twice as fast as the country’s GDP from now until 2030. This prediction suggests that the gross merchandise value (GMV) of e-commerce will increase to $35 billion by 2025, with several external factors driving the growth. Despite the economic downturn induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the government’s focus remains on industries that can help construct the Philippines’ future, including digital infrastructure and e-commerce.
Networking capabilities and access to local and international network service providers
STT Fairview will be networked to the STT Makati data center, one of the most connected data centers in the Philippines, offering customers access to local and global network service providers, internet exchanges, and submarine cable systems. This connection provides a seamless experience for customers seeking high-quality colocation facilities with the reliability and efficiency to meet today’s digital requirements.
Market-leading efficiencies without reliability trade-offs
According to Lionel Yeo, CEO of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres in Southeast Asia, STT Fairview will be the “linchpin” of a digital society, providing unique efficiencies and extended reliability. As data centers continue to increase in demand and become more crucial, companies like STT GDC must provide innovative solutions that help their clients grow and thrive. STT Fairview is expected to accomplish these goal, as the facility will offer cutting-edge efficiencies that do not compromise on reliability or performance.
The launch of STT Fairview marks a milestone for ST Telemedia Global Data Centres in providing cutting-edge, top-quality colocation centers in the Philippines. It is a flagship data center development project that underlines the corporation’s commitment to leveraging the latest technology trends and best practices to meet the needs of clients. With a resilient digital infrastructure that provides eco-friendly and energy-efficient facilities, STT Fairview will be at the forefront as a technology enabler, supporting businesses’ growth and transformation in the Philippines.
