Việt NamViệt Nam07/12/2024


On December 6, the Hanoi City Main Data Center was opened at VNPT IDC Hoa Lac, marking an important step in the capital's digital transformation journey.

Delegates performed the opening ceremony of the Hanoi City Main Data Center.

The “Heart” of Hanoi Smart City

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Ha Minh Hai, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee, assessed that the Hanoi Main Data Center opened today is one of the important strategic tools to continue promoting comprehensive digital transformation in all aspects of social life. Effective data management and exploitation not only lays the foundation for sustainable development with "new vision, new global thinking, Capital thinking and Hanoi action" but also affirms the pioneering role of the Capital in the global digital era, contributing to bringing the country into a new era of development - the era of national development".

The Main Data Center acts as the core technology infrastructure, ensuring a secure and efficient information storage, connection and processing platform for public management and service systems. It is also a place to gather and exploit big data from the fields of economy, society, transportation, health, education, etc.

With modern cloud computing technology, multi-layer security and flexible scalability, the Main Data Center not only ensures safety and efficiency in data storage and processing, but also integrates advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things, thereby creating great and practical values ​​with 3 goals for the government, 3 utilities for the people and 3 promoting business support.

Surpassing two leading technology consortia in Vietnam, the consortium led by Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) was selected by Hanoi to entrust its trust in building the main Hanoi City Data Center.

VNPT is the leading digital infrastructure provider in Vietnam. In particular, the Data Center is considered the “heart” of the Internet and the “backbone” of the digital economy, playing an important role in storing, processing and managing huge amounts of data, providing power for the modern digital world, helping the digital transformation process take place smoothly and successfully.

With 8 operating data centers, VNPT is a pioneer in infrastructure construction, accompanying the national data center to create modern digital infrastructure, promoting digital government, digital society, digital economy, contributing to realizing the aspiration of creating a digital nation.

VNPT's Hoa Lac IDC Center - where the main Hanoi City Data Center is located - is one of the largest and most modern data centers in Vietnam, meeting all the conditions and factors to accompany Hanoi City in building digital government and smart city.

According to Mr. Huynh Quang Liem, General Director of VNPT Group, VNPT currently owns 8 data centers located in major provinces and cities including Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City. All of these centers fully meet strict domestic and international standards. Of which, IDC Hoa Lac is the largest and most modern in Vietnam, capable of providing the most advanced data services in Vietnam, ready to meet the "tailor-made" requirements of domestic and international organizations and businesses.

In the coming time, VNPT is expected to continue to seek cooperation opportunities with partners and investors to build new regional and world-class data centers, using green and sustainable technology. This affirms VNPT's role in accompanying the government and businesses in realizing the aspiration of national digital transformation, towards the goal of becoming a Digital Hub of the region.

Effective cooperation model

The Hanoi City Main Data Center is built at VNPT IDC Hoa Lac - a large-scale data center with leading modern technology in Vietnam, ensuring stable operation, high security and meeting future expansion needs.

The highlight of the Hanoi City Main Data Center is the use of private cloud computing technology, helping data systems operate flexibly, safely and cost-effectively. The security system is designed with 6 strict layers of defense, from the outside to the data storage area (Data Hall), ensuring the highest level of data security. At the same time, the team of operating experts at the center are all well-trained and possess international certificates such as CDFOM, CDRP, CDMS, CTDC, CCNA, CCNP, ready to ensure the system operates continuously 24/7.

More than 300 IT applications of Hanoi City have been converted to cloud computing platform at the center, from document management systems, administrative procedures to the platform for receiving feedback from citizens. The center is not only a place to store data but also acts as the "digital brain" of the capital, supporting the connection and management of shared data across the entire IT system of the city.

Furthermore, the Center is responsible for ensuring the management of the entire technical infrastructure system of the city, including centralized and distributed servers at units, managing the WAN network connecting to all departments, branches, districts, towns, maintaining stable and continuous operations 24/7; building, linking, integrating shared software and specialized software to serve the information technology application program in state agencies and serving citizens and businesses.

In addition to ensuring stable operation, the system is also ready to expand to meet future development needs. With advanced digital infrastructure and breakthrough technology solutions, the Center will be an important foundation for Hanoi to build a smart city to better serve people and businesses.

Before this event, VNPT had accompanied the Hanoi People's Committee in many important IT projects, such as deploying the Reporting Information System (VNPT-VRS) integrated with the Government Reporting Information System, or the Centralized Document Management and Administration System (VNPT-iOffice), effectively supporting the city's direction and administration.

The Hanoi City Main Data Center project not only demonstrates the trust that the city has in VNPT, but also represents a breakthrough in the capital's approach to technology. Instead of investing in operations, Hanoi has switched to an IT service leasing model, a direction recommended by the Government to optimize costs and resources.

The center is not only a technical infrastructure, but also a foundation for the long-term development of Hanoi. The system will help state agencies improve their leadership, management and data-based decision-making capacity. At the same time, the integration of advanced technologies such as VMware virtualization solutions and Morpheus Data cloud management software will also help save the state budget, increase flexibility and efficiency in operations.

The Hanoi City Main Data Center is expected to be an effective cooperation model, laying a solid foundation for Hanoi as well as many other localities to continue implementing strategic goals of comprehensive digital transformation, towards building a smart, livable and prosperous city.
