Philippine telco PLDT has partnered with NEC Philippines to enhance its portfolio of cloud services with the launch of its own cloud infrastructure.
PLDT's infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offers computing resources such as virtual data centers and machines in a cloud network that can simply be accessed and managed from any web browser. This solution allows forrapid deployment as well as immediate scaling when the number of users increases, paying only for actual usage while still enjoying control of these computing resources.
NEC Philippines will provide and maintain the cloud computing infrastructure for PLDT's IaaS offering. This implementation at PLDT is the first cloud project for NEC in the Philippines. PLDT's public cloud service is envisioned to helpaccelerate the adoption of cloud computing technology locally.
For the first 9 months of 2012, PLDT's total broadband subscribers hit 3.2 million with aggregate revenue contribution from broadband and internet services of ₱17.6 billion ($427 million), 30% higher than for the same period last year.
