Our 10 Vitro Data Centers control over 65% of the nation's data center colocation space, according to the most current Structure Research Data Center Industry Report. We are constantly expanding and updating our existing facilities to ensure that they consistently satisfy the high standards set by hyper scalers on a global scale. According to Victor S. Genuino, president and chief executive officer of ePLDT, work on the company's 11th cutting-edge data center is also progressing.
This change includes the expansion of VITRO Makati 2 and Paraaque, which will bring 1,820 more racks online as early as March of this year, as well as an additional 14MW to VITRO's overall power capacity.
"We've added an extra room to our VITRO Makati 2's fourth and fifth levels and growing our VITRO Paranaque. As we prepare to launch VITRO Sta. Rosa in the first quarter of 2024, these expansions will allow us to satisfy the pressing needs of our current client base while also providing more capacity to prospective customers this year.
