And 3 Reasons Why It is Best to Partner with Beeinfotech PH
The Philippines, and its 7,107 islands, has lately been getting the attention of global technology providers with their intent to establish hyperscale facilities.
Why is the Philippines seemingly the new hotbed for such data center deployments? Here are 3 reasons.
1. Last frontier? The Philippines strategic location in Asia should have been an obvious territory to set up networks and compute facilities. However, as an archipelagic nation, its geographical stature has been its handicap as it is far from major landmasses where connectivity is less of a challenge.
But the good news is that because of the ever increasing undersea cable networks that are landing every now and then, that handicap is no longer evident now. And because of network traffic congestion from surrounding data center hubs, the Philippines now stands as the new ideal location to propagate and disseminate.
2. PH as top consumers of data. The irony with the Philippines is that in spite of the laggard (but now rapidly improving) network infrastructure, the Philippines is still one of the world's top users of Facebook, Youtube, Netflix, Spotify and other content applications. As content becomes more and more dense, there is a need to bring data closer to the end users. As these content providers bring their wares closer and closer, delivery of the content speeds up, and as a result, they reach a bigger audience. The improving internet speed coupled with the shorter distance to the end user then becomes a bellwether to the further increase in consumption and subscription. Call it the “Manila effect.”
3. PH is friendly to both China and the West. Politics and technology should and must never mix. But the reality is, as the World Wide Web is shaping up as the e-territory where nations battle to gain influence. Intentional or not, the Philippines finds itself strategically apolitical, and is becoming the middle ground where China and other countries can interconnect and meet without fear of perceived untoward incidents. With the support from all carriers and providers, the Philippines is set to become a true international data exchange & hub.
But the big “but” for the hyperscalers is whether to build and manage on their own or to instead work with with telco neutral data center operators like Beeinfotech PH. Here are 3 reasons why it is best to run hyperscale thru partners.
1. Hyperscale means hyper fast deployment. Data centers are not easy to build. On the contrary, it takes many months and years just to build one facility, let alone build it in a country like the Philippines. But when hyperscalers engage with partner-centric DCs like Beeinfotech PH, they eliminate the headaches of acquisition, paperwork, permits, construction, compliance, incorporation and other challenges.
With ready facilities like Beeinfotech PH, hyperscalers can set up shop in no time. Plus, as noted in the previous announcement, special areas in the Beeinfotech PH The Hive data center are intentionally unconfigured and bare to accommodate any and all configurations.
2. Hyperscale means hyper flexible. Hyperscale facilities inherently must grow faster than demand. Partnering instead of building from scratch allows global tech providers to add or remove resources on the fly. Beeinfotech PH data center can accommodate thousands of racks in a truly neutral data center environment.
3. Tag teaming/extra pair of hands. While global technology providers bring in their topnotch products and solutions, what they can’t bring are country-specific management and support. While they may be able to hire organic personnel, contracting with data center focused entities like Beeinfotech PH gives that added extra confidence to toil the local data center scene.
