Once it is fully energized, the facility will run on renewable energy. This matches the sustainability practices already in place at the company’s other sites in Clark and Pasig.

With the addition of this Angeles facility, Converge is continuing to grow its digital backbone across the country. The company now operates multiple data center locations in Caloocan, Pasig, Clark, and Angeles. This network is supported by nearly 900,000 kilometers of fiber infrastructure nationwide.

On the international side, Converge is part of several major subsea cable systems, including Bifrost, SEA-H2X, and C2C-EAC. These are backed by landing stations in Davao and La Union. Together, these assets create a fully integrated infrastructure platform built to handle hyperscale workloads, cloud adoption, and the rollout of AI services across different industries.
