Which data centers in Davao are ISO 27001 certified?

Filter by certification (ISO 27001, HDS, PCI-DSS) in the comparator to keep only compliant sites.

What does a rack in Davao really cost?

Beyond listed prices, here is the computed cost of a standard 5 kW rack in Davao, from our open market model (published method, version 2026.07-v1):

ItemEstimate

What Davao allows

Davao has 3 data centers, operated by ST Telemedia Global Data Centres (STT GDC), Globe Telecom, Vitro Inc..

Connectivity from Davao

7 networks are listed at the sites in Davao according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 1 Internet exchange point is reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit.

The electricity behind Davao

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Davao are connected to the national grid, itself interconnected with its neighbours. What is measured, and what decides, is therefore the country's generation mix. That grid draws 58.7% of its electricity from coal (2025). The detail: coal 58.7%, natural gas 17.3%, hydro 10.3%, geothermal and other renewables 8.2%, solar 2.4%, bioenergy 1.2%. Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) account for 76.8% of it. A kilowatt-hour there weighs 588 g of CO2, i.e. 1.3 times the world average (458 g), 2025 figure. Concretely: a 3 kVA rack, in a site with a PUE of 1.5, draws 35,478 kWh a year and therefore emits 20.9 tonnes of CO2 a year here. The same rack, same hardware, same PUE, would emit 16 tonnes on a world-average grid. The building has nothing to do with it: the country does.

What the ground has done under Davao

Since 1970, 113 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Davao, and 1,028 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 8 in 1972, 142 km away. This record covers 56 years, which is short on a seismic timescale: no recorded earthquake does not mean no hazard. It does not replace the statutory zoning, which alone binds construction.

What Davao does not allow

No rate is published by the operators in this city: pricing is on request, and we do not estimate it on their behalf.

Other cities with data centers near Davao

The nearest site outside Davao is 406 km away, in Mandaue City. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
