Eastern
Communications colocates Digital Edge’s data center facility, NARRA1
In today's digital age, our daily activities rely on interconnected
online systems, with data centers serving as the backbone of our digital
economy and society. To address the growing demand for digital infrastructure
in the Philippines, premier telecommunications and ICT solutions company
Eastern Communications recently inked a partnership with Singapore-based data
center platform company, Digital Edge. Eastern aims to provide connectivity
solutions to Digital Edge's data center clients and ramp up its hyperscale
initiatives and data center services by colocating at NARRA1.
Data centers are becoming a priority for the Philippines as the nation actively expands its internet infrastructure. Additionally, the increasing shift of businesses online and the rising trend of cloud computing demands safe and secure data storage, in which data centers play a crucial role.
NARRA1, the Philippines' most energy-efficient data center and one of
Asia’s most advanced facilities, offers clients access to high-performance,
next-generation digital infrastructure that does not compromise on
sustainability principles. With 2,200 cabinets and 10MW of IT power, it meets
the latest demands from cloud, network, digital media, and enterprise customers
in power, reliability, security, and sustainability.
Located in the Greater Manila region at Laguna Technopark, NARRA1 is
well situated to benefit companies in the nearby Central Business Districts
(CBDs) and offers much-needed colocation capacity and interconnection agility
to support the ongoing digital transformation of the local economy.
Through this partnership, customers can take advantage of a breadth of
choices from various network service options, flexible colocation solutions,
interconnected platform services, and a dedicated customer support team.
Eastern Communications Vice President and Head of Sales Mike Castañeda
said that Eastern fully commits to the vision of transforming the digital
infrastructure in the Philippines and continues to innovate and forge strategic
partnerships to mount these progressive changes through their hyperscale
efforts.
“Our recent partnership with Digital Edge is aligned with our strategic
plan to expand hyperscale data center services to Philippine businesses. This
collaboration allows us to provide robust connectivity solutions at NARRA1 and
gradually improve our overall data center capabilities to meet both local and
global market demands,” said Castañeda.
Likewise, Digital Edge Philippines General Manager, Vic Barrios,
expressed support for the vision of Eastern Communications and valued its
partnership that benefits both the company and their clients.
“We are delighted to partner with Eastern to bring greater connectivity
options to our cloud and enterprise colocation customers. As the largest
carrier-neutral data center operator in the Philippines, partnerships like this
one are vital for building a diverse digital ecosystem that enables our
customers to thrive. We look forward to working with Eastern to provide a range
of interconnection solutions at our NARRA1 facility that will further enhance
Manila’s critical digital infrastructure,” said Barrios.
Digital Edge is one of Asia’s fastest-growing data center platforms
offering reliable colocation and fiber services across the region, with an
ambition to bridge the digital divide and bring world-class digital
