Under the terms of the deal, SG.GS will deploy networking systems across Vitro’s carrier-neutral facilities. The companies claim that this will facilitate better interconnection with carriers, cloud providers, Internet service providers, and enterprises in the Philippines.
“We welcome SG.GS to the Vitro ecosystem. By colocating within our carrier-neutral facilities, they gain direct access to a rich interconnection landscape - spanning global carriers, cloud providers, ISPs, and Philippine enterprises - that strengthens the Philippines’ position as a high-performance transit hub in Asia-Pacific,” Vitro assistant vice-president and sales group head Davis Yolangco said.
For Vitro, the deal is expected to significantly expand its interconnection options for organizations operating in the Southeast Asian country. According to the companies, SG.GS has more than 200 points of presence across more than 30 markets and connectivity to more than 30 subsea cable systems.
