Philippines telecom operator Globe Telecom has
decided to expand data center facilities targeting enterprise customers.
Globe Telecom is looking at leveraging demand
from local firms for cost-efficient and effective IT infrastructure and data
processing capabilities.
Globe
Telecom has started construction of two new sites in Quezon City and Cavite
that are expected to be ready for service by year-end.
Globe will also be expanding existing data
center facilities in Makati and Cebu.
Its data center revenue continues to increase
year-on-year, with an impressive double-digit growth posted from 2010 to 2011.
The company said it currently has the most
number of data centers among Philippine telcos, with five facilities across
Luzon and Visayas that boast of significantly high utilization due to very
strong demand.
The Globe Data Center eliminates a company's
need to build, maintain and expand its own data center. Hence, customers are
allowed to focus on their core businesses.
Globe offers a range of managed data center
services and solutions that suit the varying needs of its enterprise customers.
These include co-location, dedicated server hosting, disaster recovery services
and managed security services.
"Our customers who invest in the data
center have experienced huge savings in capital expenses, with significantly
reduced maintenance and operational costs. This cost-efficiency advantage,
along with the data center's high availability and global connectivity, is the
main driver on the increasing number of companies who subscribe to the
service," said Jesus
Romero, head of Globe Business.
Globe recently upgraded its data center network
facilities with Cisco's CRS-3 Carrier Routing System and the Nexus 7000 Series
Switches. This connects the company's suite of Cloud Solutions to the world
with high-capacity 10Gbps connections, making Globe the first telco in the country
to deploy a terabit-level data center infrastructure through its CRS-3 routers
and Nexus 7000 switches.
"The growing need for data center
facilities in the country is the reason why Globe is keen to embark on
expansions and upgrades. These upgrades and increase in capacity will bring the
network infrastructure of our data centers to the highest levels of
performance, availability and security," said Grace-Jarin Castillo, Globe Business Enterprise Segments Head.
