In the last two years, the data center market landscape in the Philippines has faced numerous changes. These rapid developments were made possible due to the increasing demands on technology use, the popularity of social media and entertainment platforms, the continuous expansion of the BPO industry, and e-commerce dominating the business sector.
“To leverage growth and change, one must also be aware of its repercussions. As the country is fast becoming a data center hub, organizations that will build and operate data centers need tools that can cut energy and costs. For Vertiv, this means ensuring that we can help provide Uninterruptible Power Supply systems with Dynamic Grid Support technology, liquid cooling, and integrating lithium-ion technology,” said Jason Lim, Country Manager, Vertiv Philippines.
Less use of diesel generators will be achieved when data centers start relying on UPS systems and batteries for conditioning and backup power. It provides a backup power supply that prevents equipment damage if a grid shuts down. It also delivers capable grid services that maintain system-wide balance and better management of electricity transmission. Businesses and private energy users can commercialize the energy given by the Grid Interactive UPS, which lowers the overall energy costs.
