- VITRO Santa Rosa, the Philippines’ largest and most advanced data center, sets new benchmarks in AI-readiness
- Complete ABB electrification solution delivers reliable, scalable power distribution across the 50MW facility for AI and cloud workloads
- Collaboration with local partner Distribution & Control Products, Inc (DCPI) ensures advanced, compliant solutions tailored to the Philippine market
ABB has powered VITRO Santa Rosa, the Philippines’ largest and most advanced data center, with a complete electrification solution, enabling the country’s first AI-ready hyperscale data center. Located in Laguna, just south of Metro Manila, the 50MW site is setting new benchmarks for AI readiness, reliability and sustainability as the Philippines emerges as one of the world’s fastest-growing data center markets.
With demand for AI infrastructure, cloud and streaming services accelerating across Southeast Asia, the facility has been designed to meet TIA Rated-3 Certification and Rated-4 readiness standards, ensuring high availability and reliability for mission critical workloads. The data center integrates at least three independent fiber routes to ensure network diversity, resilience, and carrier neutrality, while also embedding sustainability across its supply chain, operations, and design, in line with LEED certification standards.
In collaboration with Distribution & Control Products, Inc. (DCPI), ABB has delivered a complete medium- and low-voltage electrification solution, including ZX2 and SafePlus gas-insulated switchgear, Tmax XT, and Emax 2 circuit breakers, protection devices and M4M analyzers, to provide continuous uptime and energy efficiency. The integrated design ensures compliance with Philippine market requirements and gives VITRO Santa Rosa the flexibility to scale as AI workloads grow and demand for digital services accelerates.
