VITRO Inc., the data center unit of the PLDT Group and a subsidiary of ePLDT, reported a 36% year-on-year increase in colocation revenues in the first half of 2025. The growth was driven by demand from financial institutions, the public sector, and international hyperscalers.
Colocation continues to be the main contributor to VITRO’s data center operations, supporting utilization rates and guiding the company’s expansion plans. The increase in colocation has also supported its connectivity business.
“We are building strong momentum in our data center business, with VITRO Santa Rosa (VSR) driving sustained demand from enterprises and hyperscalers,” said Victor Genuino, president and CEO of ePLDT and VITRO Inc. “We’re growing our colocation business not just on VSR but also across all VITRO data center sites.”
Genuino said the company is looking forward to stronger data localization policies that will protect government data, support cloud and artificial intelligence adoption, and generate more demand for local data centers.
VSR, one of VITRO’s flagship sites, has a total power capacity of 50MW. It holds a Rated-3 certification and is Rated-4 ready. The site is linked to other VITRO facilities, the domestic fiber optic network, and international subsea cable systems.
VSR also hosts ePLDT’s GPU-as-a-Service, which provides enterprises with access to NVIDIA-powered infrastructure for machine learning, data analytics, financial modeling, rendering, and simulations. This allows companies to run high-compute workloads without large investments in hardware.
To prepare for future demand, VITRO is planning its 12th data center and has identified locations for further expansion.
