Collaboration underscores PLDT Enterprise’s commitment to support the Digital Transformation and business continuity of its clients.
PLDT Enterprise, the corporate business arm of the Philippines’ largest telecommunications services provider, announced the expansion of its partnership with Kalibo Cable Television Network, providing advanced data center solutions and dedicated connectivity for businesses in Aklan and other areas in Visayas.
This collaboration is said to underscore PLDT Enterprise’s commitment to support the Digital Transformation and Business Continuity of its clients through state-of-the-art technology.
Since 2011, PLDT Enterprise has been a trusted partner of Kalibo Cable Television Network, the first and only cable provider in the region to offer Triple Play services.
Building on this strong foundation, the partnership took a leap forward with Kalibo Cable Television Network adoption of VITRO Internet Exchange (VIX) and colocation services from VITRO, the data center subsidiary of PLDT’s ICT arm ePLDT.
“Our expanded collaboration with Kalibo Cable is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-performance environments for our clients’ critical IT infrastructure,” said Mitch Locsin, First Vice President and Head of Enterprise and International Core Business at PLDT and Smart.
“With our Colocation and Metro E-Line services, we are setting new standards for reliability, scalability, and security in digital infrastructure.”
Kalibo decision to leverage VITRO’s Colocation services was Driven by the need for a secure, scalable, and cost-effective solution to support their growing IT infrastructure demands.
The Colocation service provides a robust environment for their critical systems, ensuring uninterrupted service and enhanced security, while VIX connects Kalibo to the country’s riches IP ecosystem – optimizing their local traffic routes for better user experience.
Meanwhile, Metro E-Line service offers dedicated point-to-point connectivity with the simplicity and efficiency of Ethernet technology.
CeDric M. Sazon, President, Kalibo – and the newly elected Chairman of the Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association – said:
“PLDT Enterprise’s solutions have been instrumental in enabling us to scale our IT infrastructure dynamically. This partnership not only supports our immediate needs but also positions us well for future growth and innovation.”
The partnership is poised for further expansion with plans for additional rack space and connectivity solutions to support Kalibo Cable’s operational needs. This strategic move aligns with both companies’ visions of driving business success through digital innovation and reliable connectivity.
As businesses in the region continue to embrace Digital Transformation, PLDT Enterprise and Kalibo’s partnership is pitched as a ‘beacon of progress’ demonstrating the pivotal role of advanced telecommunications and IT solutions in achieving business resilience and growth.
