Globe Business bolsters public sector ICT infra with government data center co-location
G
LOBE Business, through its ITEnabled Services Group (IG), recently announced that the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), through the Integrated Government Philippines (iGovPhil) project, will co-locate the government files and resources in the telco’s advanced and highly-secure data center. The data center to be housed at the Globe facility is the second National Government Data Center, the government’s main information hub for all government agencies, being built by the iGovPhil. The said project is in line with the eGovernment Master Plan, which adopts a wholeof-government approach to information and communications technology infrastructure and shared government applications for better and more efficient public service delivery. “By co-locating in a commercial site, the government will be able to leverage the private service provider’s advanced facilities and long experience in the ICT business,” iGovPhil
project director Denis Villorente explained. The government, he said, adopted the strategy of establishing several data centers to ensure availability and redundancy for additional security and protection of government files and resources. “Two data centers are now up-and-running, with another one being built at a facility owned by the government,” he added. After the completion and formal acceptance of the Globe data center facility by iGovPhil, government agencies starting this year are required to co-locate to the National Government Data Center. Agencies with existing and new data center requirements are instructed to use this facility moving forward. Said facilities will serve as launching point for DOST-ICTO's other services through iGovPhil, including government email, web hosting and document management, among others. According to Globe Telecom Vice President for IG Reynaldo Lugtu, “Globe is more than ready to power
data and infrastructure requirements of the Philippine government. We are in the best position to provide mission-critical services for it, similar to what large, private corporations are also benefiting from our best-in-class cloud and data center platforms.” The Globe data centers carry important global certifications which enhance the business continuity program of customers, whether in the private business setting or in the public sector. The facilities’ industry accreditations also strengthen the assurance of Globe to its customers that their service requirements will be fulfilled. All business practices of Globe for its data centers are also aligned with international standards as the telco ensures customer satisfaction, continuous improvement as well as implementing effective and globally-accepted processes, policies and procedures.

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - Tuna industry players here are upbeat over the impact to the area’s tuna exports of the recent decision of the European Union (EU) to include the Philippines in its Generalized System of Preferences Plus (GSP+) list. Richie Rivera, executive vice president of the RD Group of Companies here, said the EU’s decision would boost the area’s tuna industry, especially the processed and canned tuna exports. EU’s GSP+ mainly grants zero duty or tariff to over 6,000 eligible exports from the country to its memberstates. But Rivera said the GSP+ status only covered processed and canned tuna products caught by 100-percent Philippine-registered vessels. “If foreign caught, the
GSP+ won’t apply,” Rivera explained. RD Tuna Ventures, which is controlled by the RD Group, has shifted its fishing operations in Papua New Guinea where it also owns a tuna canning plant. Rivera nevertheless said they are supporting the trade agreement. The city, which is home to six of the country’s tuna canneries, is dubbed the “Tuna Capital of the Philippines.” The industry generates annual export receipts of around USD350 million and directly employs about 20,000 workers. In the first half of the year, the country’s tuna exports, which includes fresh, frozen, preserved or preserved in airtight containers, netted around USD125.65 million in total receipts.
Such figure was only based from the shipments during the period to the European Union. The other top tuna export markets are the United States, Japan and the Middle East. Francisco Buencamino, executive director of the Tuna Canners Association of the Philippines, canned tuna exports to Europe in 2012 reached 3,202,659 cases or 42.5 percent of the country’s export volume of 7,538,093 cases. The 2012 value of canned tuna exports to Europe reached USD123,295,407 or 44.8 percent of the total USD275,295,399 export receipts of the country. Industry sources said the inclusion of the Philippines in the EU GSP+ will mean at least additional USD15 million or Php660 million in revenues for Philippine tuna exporters.(PNA)
Integrated Government Philippines project director Denis Villorente seals the agreement with Globe EVP and COO Gil Genio during a joint activity by Globe Business ITEnabled Services Group (IG) and the Department of Science and Technology-Advance Sciences Technologies Institute, making official the co-location of government files and resources to the Globe data center.
