Globe's data center arm, ST Tele-media Global Data Centres (STT GDC) Philippines, is in the final stages of preparing the STT Fairview 1 data center in Quezon City for service.

Designed to be a carrier-neutral and sustainable data center, the STT Fairview 1 will have a total capacity of 124 megawatts (MW), catering to high power capacity needs.

In an interview with Manila Bulletin, Globe President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Carl Cruz said the data center will launch in the "next six to eight weeks," which falls in the month of August.
