Frequently asked questions

How much does a rack (colocation) cost in Makati?

a full rack is priced on electrical power (kVA), IP transit and cross-connects. Compare the 7 data centers in Makati to get a costed quote.

What is the difference between housing and colocation?

None: “housing” and “colocation” mean the same thing — hosting your own servers in a third-party data center, as opposed to renting a dedicated server or public cloud.

Which data centers in Makati are ISO 27001 certified?

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

Learn the basics: colocation, 42U rack, cross-connect, IP transit, Tier III/IV.

What does a rack in Makati really cost?

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

What Makati allows

Makati has 7 data centers, operated by Equinix, Inc., Vitro Inc., Globe Telecom, SHIFT DATA SERVICES INC. Declared design level: Tier III. That level describes the building's redundancy, not a contractual availability commitment: only the contract carries one. Available formats range from 1 baie to 1 baie: you can start small here, without renting a whole rack.

Connectivity from Makati

133 networks are listed at the sites in Makati according to public interconnection registries. That number drives your negotiating power: every carrier inside the building is one more quote, with no civil works. 7 Internet exchange points are reachable from these sites, which cuts latency to the large content networks and the cost of transit. The large networks reachable directly from these sites, without buying transit, are Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, DigitalOcean, Google, Microsoft Azure, Tencent Cloud, Meta, Akamai and 2 more: they are present at the exchange points where 3 of the 7 sites in the city are points of presence. Reaching your cloud over an exchange point rather than the public Internet changes latency, and above all the price of data egress.

Compliance and sovereignty

Note: part of the operation falls under a US-jurisdiction company, hence under the CLOUD Act. Hosting in Europe is not enough to escape it: what counts is the provider's nationality, not the building's address.

The electricity behind Makati

A city has no electricity of its own: the sites in Makati 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 Makati

Since 1970, 99 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above have been recorded within 100 km of Makati, and 389 within 200 km. The strongest: magnitude 7.7 in 1990, 126 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 Makati 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 Makati

The nearest site outside Makati is 3 km away, in Taguig. Short distances matter: they drive the cost of a link between two buildings, and whether a backup site is workable.
