Located in the heart of the Clark ecozone, VITRO Clark, once fully operational, will cater to the region’s thriving business communities and planned IT hubs in Central Luzon, that could also serve the disaster recovery requirements for other businesses elsewhere.
With a total investment of Php 1.3 billion when completed, the construction of the VITRO Clark facility will boost the growth of ICT-demanding industries in the area like the business process outsourcing, Outsourcing & Offshoring, and retail.
“This new data center will be compliant to global standards with enough rack space to accommodate the production requirements of the enterprises based here in Luzon, as well as the disaster recovery requirements of those based elsewhere. We are confident that the PLDT Group will again make our mark in Philippine ICT history,” said PLDT EVP and ePLDT President and CEO Eric Alberto.
“We are not doing this just for the prestige of becoming the largest data center operator in the country. We are doing this because we want to enable local enterprises to compete in the global arena and help fulfill our country’s destiny to become the next Asian Economic Tiger,” he added.
Adding an additional 1,230 rack capacity to the PLDT Group, the 5-storey building will have 8 level access security control and redundant infrastructures to ensure highest uptime service level.
When fully complete, the PLDT Group will have eight operational commercial data centers with a combined rack capacity exceeding 8,000.
The planned data center is anticipated to boost the region’s business communities and growing IT hubs. Recently, Metro Clark was reported to enter the top 100 list of 2015 Tholons International Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations Report, making it the 8th Philippine city in the list.
“PLDT has added value to Clark, with VITRO coming here, this adds to this landscape that will make businesses want to invest and set up here. We are excited to partner with PLDT for this as we have always known them for quality service, and a provider of employment in the country,” said Clark Development Corporation President Atty. Arthur Tugade during the groundbreaking of the PLDT VITRO Clark facility.
Much like the new VITRO facility in Makati, the VITRO Clark will be based on TIA-942 and LEED standard guidelines and will undergo certifications once completed, ensuring global standards are implemented that will make it at par with data centers in advanced countries.
