At the groundbreaking ceremony for Viettel's data center in Cu Chi district |
This center, known as Tan Phu Trung Data Center, will cover an area of nearly 4 hectares and have the capacity of up to 140 MW. This will be the first data center in Vietnam to surpass the 100 MW threshold, placing it in the hyperscale category.
It is designed and will be operated according to Uptime Tier III international standards. Its average capacity density will be 10kW per rack, 2.5fold higher than the national average. Notably, some racks could have a capacity of 60kW to meet the intense computational demands of large-scale artificial intelligence models and applications. To get high capacity, the data center will apply advanced cooling technologies and “Made-by-Viettel” AI-based smart management system.
