City of Dreams Manila, an integrated gaming and entertainment resort destination operated and managed by Melco Crown Philippines (MCP) Resorts Corporation, recently obtained data center colocation and internet services from Globe Business, the information and communications technology (ICT) arm of Globe Telecom as part of its business continuity and disaster recovery strategy.
The dynamic and innovative resort complex will outsource their data management requirements and media storage to Globe Business. Located on an approximately 6.2-hectare site at the gateway to Entertainment City, City of Dreams of Manila offers entertainment, hotel, retail and dining and lifestyle experiences with aggregated gaming space, including VIP and mass-market gaming facilities with up to approximately 380 gaming tables, 1,700 slot machines and 1,700 electronic table games.
