This is the first Data Center (DC) in Vietnam designed with high capacity, twice the average; it is also the first DC in Vietnam committed to using renewable energy to meet 30% of electricity consumption.
On April 10, the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel) inaugurated the Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center with a capacity of 30MW, the largest in Vietnam.
This is the first DC in Vietnam designed with high capacity, twice the average level, to meet the development trend of AI with the requirement of high-performance chips, increasing computing capacity. With 60,000 servers; more than 2,400 racks; 21,000m2 of floor space; total power capacity of 30MW, Viettel Hoa Lac DC also becomes the largest DC in Vietnam today. This 14th DC helps Viettel increase the total number of 230,000 servers, 81,000m2 of floor space, 11,500 racks; 87MW of power, equivalent to a super DC in the world. This continues to affirm Viettel's strong commitment to building a modern digital infrastructure in Vietnam.
Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center holds many green certificates such as energy management standards, environmental impact management standards, and occupational hygiene management standards.
