The Rise of the Philippines as the Next Hyperscale Destination in Southeast Asia
As the global hyperscale cloud providers and social media giants look to extend their reach further into Asia, a number of countries have emerged as areas of interest: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. As we look at Philippines through the lens of digital transformation, many of the pieces are in place for the market to take off, and the country’s datacenter industry is seeing the beginnings of a potential growth spurt in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Growing hyperscale deployment has moved the needle in the datacenter scene in Philippines, signaling demand for larger amounts of space and power than previously seen in the country. This new era of datacenter development will not only benefit the hyperscalers, but also large enterprises looking to land or expand their digital assets in Philippines.
In this webinar we’ll take a look at the following:
-
What are the current social and macro-economic factors in place to support datacenter and cloud growth
-
How is the datacenter market shaping up within Philippines and what are the growth drivers
-
Why PLDT is investing further into datacenters and what new developments can we expect
-
Who are the customers PLDT and the rest of the datacenter industry serving in Philippines
