Prefabricated data center provider Flexenclosure has secured a multi-million dollar order to build a facility for the Philippines' Globe Telecom.

Flexenclosure will provide its eCentre modular prefabicated data center product to the operator for deployment on the island of Mindanao.

The data center will be assembled and tested at Flexenclosure's manufacturing plant in Sweden before being shipped to the Philippines for on-site construction. It is expected to be fully operational by early in the third quarter.

The company is delivering the contract in partnership with Manila-based system integrator Orissa Wicomm.

Globe CTO and chief strategy officer Gil Genio said the company plans to use its new data center to support its efforts to ramp up capacity and provide innovative new services for its customers in the broadband, enterprise and consumer segments.

“We are committed to delivering market-leading services to our customers; on the network infrastructure side, this means flexible, modular and low cost,” he said.

“Our new data center in Mindanao... employs this modular architecture that allows us to rapidly add infrastructure with growth."

The deal marks Flexenclosure's first project in the Philippines but is the latest in a line of recent wins in Asia-Pacific, which included projects in Australia, Palau, Samoa, Fiji and Myanmar announced last year.
