VITRO Inc., a subsidiary of ePLDT and the data center arm of PLDT Inc., activated the network infrastructure of its 50-megawatt VITRO Sta. Rosa (VSR) data center that will enable its telco partners to establish their points-of-presence (PoPs) within the facility, enhancing network diversity and redundancy.
Following VSR’s successful energization, the activation of its network infrastructure marks another milestone in the facility’s network readiness to ensure that clients have access to connectivity solutions that are best suited to their business needs.
Telco partners that are set to activate their PoP include PLDT, Radius, Eastern Telecommunications, Philcom, Infinivan, HGC and Converge ICT.
“At VITRO, our commitment goes beyond constructing state-of-the-art facilities. We strive to build hyperconnected data centers that drive our clients’ business success. Our mission is to empower our clients by fostering a telco and carrier ecosystem that promotes growth, resilience, and innovation in the digital age,” said Victor Genuino, ePLDT and VITRO Inc. president and chief executive.
With its network powered-up, VSR is poised to solidify its status as the first true hyperscale data center with a highly diverse ecosystem and robust network infrastructure that cater to the stringent needs of hyperscalers, enterprises and the public sector.
VSR will also activate an initial 52 telco racks by the end of the year, with plans to expand to over 200 racks to support future growth to ensure telco diversity by design.
Each telco room is strategically designed with access to three diverse Points of Entry (PoE), optimizing network reliability and resilience.
VITRO also teamed up with Ciena, a global leader in networking systems, services and software, to enhance inter-data center connectivity.
The collaboration enables VSR to maintain secure, high-speed connections to the rest of VITRO’s Metro Manila sites through its Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solution. This setup allows clients to conveniently implement a multi-site disaster recovery strategy.
The DCI solution also supports VITRO Internet Access and VITRO Internet Exchange services, ensuring their seamless availability across all VITRO data centers.
