Expected to commence full operations by the end of 2025, the facility is set to drive enhanced connectivity and innovation.

A New Era for Philippines Data Centers

The STT Fairview 1 campus, which boasts an impressive 124MW of planned capacity, represents a major leap forward for sustainable, scalable, and interconnectivity-focused infrastructure in the region. What sets this campus apart is its reliance on 100% renewable energy, reflecting global trends toward environmentally conscious data solutions. Its carrier-neutral ecosystem welcomes diverse telecom partners, enabling businesses of all sizes to achieve redundancy, flexibility, and reliability in their operations.

By onboarding major players like Globe Telecom with its nationwide coverage, Radius Telecoms with metro fiber solutions, and Source Telecoms’ data center connectivity expertise, STT Fairview 1 provides customers with robust network options. Furthermore, the continually expanding roster of carriers ensures STT GDC’s commitment to offering unparalleled connectivity options, essential for businesses navigating mission-critical operations and pursuing AI-aligned ambitions.

Strategic Interconnection: From Fairview to Makati

The STT Fairview 1 data center is not an isolated development but part of a broader ecosystem interconnected with STT Makati, a pivotal hub located in Metro Manila. STT Makati serves as the foundation for a vast interconnection network, connecting over 50 carriers and internet exchange platforms, including BBIX Manila, GetaFIX Manila, GIX, and MHK-IX. This integration ensures that businesses utilizing the Fairview facility can tap into an extensive range of global and local connectivity solutions, strengthening their digital backbone.

“By empowering customers with network choice, scalability, and resilience, we are ensuring that STT GDC plays a transformative role in the region’s digital evolution,” remarked Carlo Malana, President and CEO of STT GDC Philippines. The company’s vision aligns seamlessly with the growing need for AI-ready infrastructure, as industries increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making in competitive markets.

Global Standards and AI-Readiness

Adding to its credentials, the STT Fairview 1 campus was recently awarded a G2 Design Certification by the International Data Center Authority (IDCA), a testament to its adherence to global data infrastructure standards. This certification underscores the facility’s readiness to accommodate the most advanced technologies while delivering top-notch performance, reliability, and scalability.

As businesses across Southeast Asia and the globe accelerate their digital transformations, the Philippines is emerging as a key player in the data center and AI infrastructure sector. STT GDC’s innovative approach with Fairview 1 places the nation on the map for sustainable, cutting-edge connectivity solutions, offering enterprises a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
