Data center builders yesterday announced the establishment of the Data Center Operators of the Philippines (DCPH) with the aim of setting up the Philippines as Southeast Asia’s digital hub.

The alliance is made up of VITRO Inc., ST Telemedia Global Data Centers (Philippines), YCO Cloud, Digital Edge Philippines, Digital Halo and A-FLOW.

The founding members of the DCPH boast a combined 473 megawatts in capacity through their data centers across the archipelago.

The DCPH plans to lobby for policies that will transform the Philippines into a preferred destination for tech giants looking for facilities to store data.
