Digital Halo to officially launch DH MNL1 data center in Metro Manila on June 3 

Regional data centre operator Digital Halo will officially launch its flagship data  center, DH MNL1, on June 3, 2025, marking a significant milestone for the country’s digital  transformation and regional technology leadership. DH MNL 1 is the first of the three buildings in the  planned 70MW sustainable and AI-ready data centre campus. The event follows a major US$400  million investment from global private markets firm Partners Group and existing investor Arch  Capital, signaling strong international confidence in the Philippines as a strategic digital hub. 

Strategically located in the eastern portion of Metro Manila’s central business district, DH MNL1 is  designed to serve as a critical digital backbone for both local and regional enterprises. The facility  offers robust colocation, carrier-neutral connectivity, and disaster recovery (DR) services—all in a  location intentionally chosen to mitigate risks from flooding, fault lines, and volcanic activity. 

“We are proud to officially launch DH MNL1 as a secure and future-ready platform for the Philippine  digital economy,” said Kai Goh, Co-founder and CEO of Digital Halo. “As digital services become  essential across all industries, our mission is to bring the infrastructure closer to where it’s needed  most—right here in the Philippines.” 

The MNL1 data center has been in operation for over a year and already supports hyperscale,  enterprise and carrier clients. With its formal launch, Digital Halo aims to position the facility as a  neutral digital hub, connecting internet service providers (ISPs), cloud providers, and enterprise  customers under one roof. 

“DH MNL1 is more than just a data center—it’s a digital community,” added Goh. “It’s where  infrastructure, innovation, and industry meet securely and seamlessly.” 

Maricar Burgos Nepomuceno, Country Director for Digital Halo Philippines, emphasized the  importance of DH MNL1 to the local business landscape: 

“As a carrier-neutral facility, DH MNL1 is designed to support mission-critical operations for companies  of all sizes. From high-availability rack space to connectivity and business continuity tools, this facility  empowers Philippine businesses to scale confidently in the digital age.” 

In addition to DH MNL1, Digital Halo recently broke ground on its second data center facility in Johor  Bahru, Malaysia, as part of a broader regional expansion. Backed by Partners Group, the company  plans to scale its capacity to over 500 MW across Asia. 

The June 3 launch event will gather local industry leaders, technology partners, government  stakeholders, and members of the media to officially unveil the DH MNL1 facility and celebrate a new  era for Philippine digital infrastructure.
