Why build data centers?
With the continuous development of technology and the explosion of data, the demand for data storage and processing is increasing. According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, data in Vietnam is growing faster than the global average, requiring 4 to 5 additional data centers (IDCs) with a scale of 2,000 racks each year to meet the demand. IDCs are equipped with advanced security systems, helping to protect data from threats and ensure business continuity. This is especially important in the context of increasing cyber security threats. Moreover, IDCs play an important role in the national information technology infrastructure, considered the "backbone" of the digital economy. IDCs not only ensure data safety and security but also support the digital transformation process, helping businesses and organizations operate more effectively. Developing modern IDC centers is a key factor for Vietnam to catch up with global technology trends and promote the development of the digital economy. Currently, Vietnam has about 30 data centers (IDCs), accounting for less than 1% of the total number of global data centers. IDC centers in Vietnam are mainly concentrated in large cities such as Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City.
