With a total area of 23,000 square meters to accommodate 2,000 racks, VNPT IDC Hoa Lac earns the Uptime Tier III Certification of Design Documents (TCDD), Constructed Facility (TCCF), and in the future the Certification of Operational Sustainability (TCOS). Using equipment from famous manufacturers like Cumin, Hitachi, or Siemens, VNPT IDC Hoa Lac can offer mega-speed of 2Gbps/rack for domestic connections and 0.5Gbps/rack for international ones.
The human resources working in this center are professionally trained and have a lot of experience in the field in order to provide customer support 24/7. They are always available to help clients to upgrade the chosen packages when needed.
VNPT Director General Huynh Quang Liem said that besides IDC Hoa Lac the group has eight other data centers in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang.
At the opening ceremony, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung said that the ministry paid special attention to the growth of the digital infrastructure in Vietnam. Data infrastructure is the most important among them, and telecoms carriers should invest in this matter for more development space.
He said that Vietnam has a faster data growth rate than the global one. The country currently has 39 data centers, but each year it needs to open 5 such centers as VNPT IDC Hoa Lac to satisfy the growing demands of the community.
"Digital infrastructure must be super-capacious, ultra-wideband, universally accessible, sustainable, smart, open, and secure. It's essential to prioritise investment in modernisation to stay ahead in the digital transformation race. Data infrastructure is the cornerstone of digital infrastructure. Telecommunications firms who once led in telecoms infrastructure must now take the lead in data infrastructure. Investment in data centres represents a new growth avenue for these operators, without which, they risk being replaced," he said.
Mr. Hung encouraged local businesses to favor Vietnamese cloud computing and data services, especially when the national ones have met even the strictest criteria in the world and offered competitive prices.
