PLDT Enterprise, ePLDT, and Vitro Inc. are working together to help more businesses in the Philippines prepare for the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Their efforts focus on building the right infrastructure so companies can easily adopt and use AI technology.
At a recent gathering hosted by the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), PLDT shared its continued support for businesses in the country. The company aims to give them access to strong internet connections, reliable computing systems, and digital tools that support AI.
“AI’s success is deeply rooted in the quality and resilience of the infrastructure that supports it,” said Jojo Gendrano, senior vice president and head of Enterprise Business Group at PLDT and Smart. “Through PLDT Enterprise, ePLDT, and Vitro Inc., we are delivering an ecosystem that enables enterprises to fully maximize AI’s potential while ensuring reliability, security, and efficiency.”
One key part of this digital system is Vitro Sta. Rosa (VSR), the country’s first data center designed to support AI. It is linked to PLDT’s fiber network and undersea cables, allowing for fast, low-latency computing needed to run AI programs.
Offering GPU-as-a-Service
Another important step is the launch of ePLDT’s GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), which uses Nvidia-powered GPU servers. This gives companies and government offices on-demand access to high-performance computing, without having to invest in their own hardware.
“Our objective is to accelerate the adoption of AI by making it accessible to government and businesses of all sizes,” said Victor Genuino, president and CEO of ePLDT and Vitro Inc. “Through GPU-as-a-Service, we are providing enterprises with scalable, cost-effective computing power to enhance efficiencies and drive digital transformation.”
Industries expected to benefit from these AI tools include finance, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing.
“As AI continues to reshape industries, we remain focused on our mission to provide future-ready solutions that matter — solutions that empower businesses, drive economic growth, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in a digital-first world,” said Gendrano.
