Data centers power much of the digital economy, allowing businesses to run online services, process transactions, store information and deploy AI systems without building and maintaining their own expensive computing infrastructure.
The Fairview facility is part of a much larger 124-megawatt campus planned across four buildings covering more than 83,000 square meters, making it one of the Philippines' biggest data center developments.
Its first building, STT Fairview 1, is targeting 30 megawatts of capacity before year-end as development of the wider campus continues, Globe said in its latest quarterly report.
More space committed
STT GDC Philippines, a joint venture of Globe, Ayala Corp. and ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, said Levels 1 and 2 of Fairview 1 are now 100 percent contracted, compared with only Level 1 at the end of the second quarter.
With both levels committed, the company has started fitting out Levels 3 and 4 to prepare additional space for customers.
Cavite data center prepares for more customers
The expansion is also progressing in Cavite, where STT GDC Philippines has completed the first phase of another facility and begun accommodating customer equipment.
"At STT Cavite 2, Phase 1 is now fully ready for service with active customer deployments, while fit-out activities for Phase 2 have also commenced," Globe said in the report.
STT Cavite 2 is a two-story data center at Gateway Business Park in General Trias, Cavite, designed to deliver up to 6 megawatts of computing capacity across more than 4,500 square meters of floor space.
