Designed to Tier 3 data center standard of at least 99.982 percent expected uptime, the facility employs multiple redundancy measures to ensure all critical systems are highly reliable. It also features eco-friendly ventilation and air conditioning systems, and champions sustainable practices through the use of recycled materials and energy-efficient equipment, a rainwater catchment system, and solar panels to generate energy.

STT Makati is equipped with the highest level of physical security, with several layers of protection from the outside in. It also has the innate advantage of being a standalone facility, compared to other facilities in shared spaces.

The completion of our new data hall in STT Makati is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of excellence and innovation. This facility offers an opportunity for businesses to enjoy the advantages of having collocation space in a next-generation, hyperscaler grade data center for a fraction of the cost, said Carlo Malana, STT GDC Philippines President and CEO.

Full operations are expected to begin next month.

STT GDC has also data facilities in Quezon City and Cavite.
