ROBERT LAO
A-FLOW Chairman
ALLHC President and CEO
A-FLOW, a leading developer and operator of data centers in the Philippines, marked a major construction milestone with the recent topping off of its new ML1 Data Center.
A-FLOW is the joint venture between FLOW Digital Infrastructure (FLOW) and AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corporation (ALLHC). The companies broke ground on the site in December 2022.
Strategically situated in Biñan, Laguna, the three-building, carrier-neutral campus is designed to meet the highest standards of energy efficiency, scalability, and security, with a focus on site resiliency and reliability. With the completion of the first building’s structural framework, the data center is slated to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2024, with an initial 6 MW capacity ready for service.
Key features of the facility include a robust and secure infrastructure to ensure operational continuity, dual power feeds for enhanced redundancy, and a hyperconnected environment for network diversity and flexibility. Furthermore, the data center is scalable to accommodate future business growth.
Key representatives from FLOW and ALLHC were present at the ceremony, together with partners and vendors involved in the design and construction of the data center. Said A-FLOW President and FLOW CEO Amandine Wang: “The topping-off of ML1 is a testament to the vision, commitment, and dedication of all our vendors, partners, and consultants who have contributed to this achievement. Their presence highlights the collective effort and shared ambition that has driven this project forward up to this pivotal moment.”
