Addressing the Digital Divide with Tailored ICT Solutions

Eastern Communications understands the diverse needs of Philippine businesses. They offer a comprehensive suite of ICT solutions encompassing Network Solutions, Cybersecurity, Cloud Services, and Data Center Services. These solutions are designed to optimize operations, enhance efficiency, and empower businesses of all sizes — from startups to established corporations — to thrive in the digital age.

Network Solutions with Cutting-Edge Security Features

Eastern’s Network Solutions provide businesses with secure and adaptable access points. Cutting-edge security features like Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Security Service Edge (SSE), Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), and Managed Endpoints ensure businesses operate with confidence in a landscape rife with evolving cyber threats. Eastern’s recent recognition as Cisco’s Top SMB Partner underscores their dedication to delivering innovative solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

Combating Cyber Threats with Advanced Security Solutions

Eastern’s Cyber Defense Suite offers a robust shield against cyber threats. Integrated with connectivity solutions, the suite includes DDoS Protected IDS, Zero Trust Network Access, Point Solutions, and Managed Security Services (MSSP). Eastern’s recent achievement of Sophos’ Platinum Partnership status, the first telco provider in the Philippines to do so, further solidifies their commitment to delivering cutting-edge security technologies.

Eastern Cloud: Enabling Seamless and Secure Remote Work

Eastern Cloud caters to the growing trend of remote work environments. Offering cloud-hosted infrastructures, development platforms, testing environments, business continuity, and backup solutions, Eastern Cloud empowers businesses to operate seamlessly and securely from anywhere.

Data Center Services: A Cornerstone for Digital Infrastructure

Eastern’s Data Center Services, aligned with their vision of making the Philippines a regional hyperscale hub, provide businesses with optimal performance and reliability. Hyperconverged infrastructure, hyperscale colocation, and partnerships with industry leaders like Huawei and Asus ensure businesses have a robust foundation for their digital infrastructure.

Bridging the Digital Divide: Access Eastern Initiative

Recognizing the importance of inclusivity in the digital age, Eastern Communications is extending its reach to regional cities through the “Access Eastern” thought leadership program. Launched in May 2024, the program covers key locations like Clark, Laguna, Cavite, Baguio, and Dumaguete, with more areas to follow. By engaging with businesses in regional hubs, Eastern aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure all Filipino enterprises have access to transformative ICT solutions.

Eastern Communications’ commitment goes beyond offering cutting-edge solutions. They recognize the importance of knowledge democratization in driving digital adoption. Eastern’s upcoming initiatives include pocket ICT Enablement Sessions featuring industry leaders from Huawei, Fortinet, and Cisco, and their biggest thought leadership event of the year, the “Transcend Technology Summit: Forging the Future of Business.”

Through these initiatives, Eastern Communications aims to equip Filipino businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in the digital age. By combining tailored ICT solutions, strategic partnerships, and educational programs, Eastern is not only fueling business growth but also building a culture of digital empowerment for all Filipinos. They are a true “Partner in Progress” for businesses navigating the complexities of the digital era.
