Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc., is gearing up to commence construction on a data center in the near future, solidifying its partnership with EdgeConneX, a deal struck less than two years ago.
According to a report by the Inquirer, Cosette Canilao, President and CEO of AIC, expressed optimism about initiating the construction of their inaugural data center within the current year.
Canilao mentioned that the companies are in the process of finalizing the location and data capacity of the hub, which is tailored to accommodate critical servers and information technology networks.
Formalizing their collaboration in October 2022, the primary goal of the exclusive partnership is to spread a network of hyperscale data centers throughout the Philippines.
The first two data centers concentrate on the Manila metropolitan area, and a secondary hyperscale campus facility is also situated in the greater Manila region. The connectivity-focused facility is located next to the local internet exchange (IX).
