IP-Converge, ComClark form strategic tie-up

MANILA, Philippines - IP Converge Data Center Inc. (IP-Converge), the IT and telecommunications division of IPVG Corp., and Pampanga-based telecommunications provider ComClark Network and Technology Corp. (ComClark) have forged a partnership to enable both companies to leverage on each other’s network infrastructure.

Through this alliance, IP-Converge can offer Internet connectivity services to a wider customer base using ComClark’s widest fiber-optic coverage and superb backhaul facilities.

ComClark’s strategically located nodes — in major parts of Central Luzon and Metro Manila and very soon in the Visayas — make them an ideal partner for expanding market reach.

In turn, ComClark can now leverage on IP-Converge’s robust Asia-Pacific network to enhance its solutions offerings to its target market.

“We see a vast potential in our partnership with IP-Converge wherein we both maximize our technological investments that we can parlay into good cash flow and make our businesses stronger not only for this period but also in the future,” said Dennis Anthony Uy, president and CEO of ComClark.

The partnership complements IP-Converge’s plans to expand its reach locally and make the Internet more accessible to a larger number of businesses across the country, and for ComClark to further strengthen its position in the ISP arena in terms of offering cost-effective and reliable network solutions to its customers in light of the current economic downturn.

“ComClark shares the same technical expertise, reliable and redundant infrastructure, and carrier-neutrality which assures our clients of utmost service quality and customer support,” said Reynaldo Huergas, president of IP-Converge.

“We look forward to exploring more avenues with ComClark to further strengthen each other’s service offerings to customers,” he added.

ComClark is the first and only Internet service provider in Pampanga operating and maintaining a full-fiber optic cable network at Clark Freeport.

The company also introduced the first-ever Fiber to the Building (FTTB) technology in the industry. 

ComClark will begin rolling out new services this year when it launches its Internet data centers in Clark, Pampanga and Libis in Pasig City.

IP-Converge operates Internet data center facilities in Makati City, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Through strategic alliances with major Internet exchanges, the company boasts of a resilient, high-speed network with multiple routes out of the Philippines and to major network hubs in Asia, allowing it to provide continuous service in the event of a disaster.
