VSTECS Phils has been appointed the country distributor for Fastly Inc in the Philippines. The partnership will see the ICT distributor in the country and Fastly enable local businesses handle digital traffic by reducing latency, improving reliability, and responding to sophisticated cyber threats in real time.

A member of the VSTECS Group, the ICT distributor has a presence in China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines and remains committed to bridging the gap between global technology innovators and local market needs.

While VSTECS already has a strong portfolio of vendors it works with, the partnership with Fastly will see the distributor strengthens its suite of cybersecurity solutions, offering a secure-by-design platform that processes data and applications at the edge. This is critical in the Philippines as the country continues to face mounting and sophisticated AI-driven threats.

Jimmy Go, President and CEO of VSTECS Phils shared that the rise in cyber threats and the growing complexity of the digital ecosystem demand a shift toward intelligent, edge-based security.

“By adding Fastly to our portfolio, we are empowering our partners and their customers with a high-performance platform that doesn't force a trade-off between speed and security. Fastly’s ability to reduce latency and provide real-time visibility is a game-changer for the Philippine market,” he said.

Specifically, Fastly’s unified architecture combines content delivery, edge computing, and web application and API protection solutions. Its global edge network specializes in delivering compelling, real-time experiences on websites, streaming platforms, and mobile applications while remaining secure and resilient by design.

By moving compute power to the edge, Fastly is designed to enable companies to reduce latency, improve reliability and minimize risks in real time. All these are imperative for organizations in today’s AI era, especially with threats becoming increasingly sophisticated and harder to detect.

As businesses look to develop and deploy more AI workloads, Fastly’s programmable platform is designed for modern development workflows, enabling businesses to deploy updates quickly, personalize content at scale, and gain real-time visibility into application performance.

Commenting on the partnership, Rachel Ler, AVP of Asia at Fastly shared that the Philippines is one of the most dynamic and fast-growing markets in the region, where digital expectations are rising at an unprecedented pace.

“By combining Fastly’s high-performance technology with VSTECS’ extensive distribution network and deep-rooted local expertise, Philippine enterprises and e-commerce businesses can modernize with the speed, security, and reliability they need to compete on a global scale,” Ler said.

Through this partnership, VSTECS will leverage its extensive network of channel partners to make Fastly’s platform accessible to businesses of all sizes nationwide, working toward a safer and faster digital future for the Philippines.
