Philippines largest telco-neutral data hub opens

MANILA, Philippines — Bee Information Technology PH Inc. has opened its first data center in the country to provide telco-grade and tailored data center services to local companies.

Beeinfotech PH, a data center services provider founded last year, said its new multi-million-peso data center in Pasig City, is currently the country’s largest telco-neutral data center.

“The ongoing pandemic has pushed companies and even the government to bolster their digital infrastructure and integrate more digital-based solutions to protect employees and better serve customers and the citizens. However, this endeavor can be difficult in the face of the economic impact of the pandemic and the increasing complexity in managing IT infrastructure,” Beeinfotech PH president and CEO Reynaldo Huergas said.

“Our data center facility assists businesses in their digital transformation efforts by delivering critical IT management expertise and solutions that, once outsourced, can propel businesses further in their growth and development even in these difficult times,” Huergas said.

As a telco-neutral data center, Beeinfotech PH’s facility allows clients to choose among multiple connections from different telecommunications providers.

The setup, it said, allows clients to select the connection that best suits their interests and needs, while also adding redundancy to a company’s connection.

The facility covers a 19,000-square meter space spread across three floors of more than 6,000 square meters each.

This gives Beeinfotech PH enough room to hold more than 3,000 racks, currently the largest number within a single data center in the country.

With such space to host servers and other mission-critical resources, businesses can offload their entire IT infrastructure management responsibilities and instead focus on achieving their goals.

Beeinfotech PH said its objective is to propel the digital transformation of businesses by delivering resilient and flexible IT solutions.

The company aims to leverage its footprint across Asia and serve as the new gateway hub both for international companies seeking to enter the lucrative markets in the region and for Asian companies seeking global expansion.
