Philippines goes hyperscale with planned data centre campus

Vietnamese telecoms firm Viettel reportedly inaugurated its new data centre in Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park in Hanoi on Wednesday, claiming it to be one of the largest such facilities in Vietnam to date.

Could computing giant Alibaba Cloud has announced the launch of its third data centre in Malaysia. It also plans to open its second data centre in the Philippines in October 2025.

China is reportedly planning to build a network to connect thousands of new data centres in the country with the aim of selling the excess compute power and alleviating a capacity glut.
