The Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group on April 23 commenced construction of a high-tech data center and research & development hub  which spans 4 ha at Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park, in Cu Chi district, Ho Chi Minh City.

With a designed power capacity of 140 MW and approximately 10,000 racks, this data center becomes the first data center with a power capacity exceeding 100MW in Vietnam and is ranked among top 10 in Southeast Asia in terms of capacity.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Vice Chairman of the City People’s Committee Vo Van Hoan emphasized that the facility—combining data storage services and high-tech research & development—is one of the largest projects of its kind in the region.

“The launch of this super-scale data center in Cu Chi is not only a strategic milestone for Viettel but also a significant driving force for the city in developing digital infrastructure, smart urban systems, and digital governance,” Mr. Hoan stated.

“The center will accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, 5G networks, cloud computing, IoT, blockchain, cybersecurity, and Big Data. Furthermore, it will contribute to innovation ecosystem development, enhance digital workforce quality, and create high-value jobs to support the city's digital and social economy."

Major General Tao Duc Thang, Chairman and CEO of Viettel Group, highlighted that the super-scale data center at Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park is a strategic component in Viettel’s broader digital infrastructure landscape.

Alongside Viettel’s 15 existing data centers in Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Binh Duong, this facility is part of a comprehensive ecosystem where data is securely stored, transmitted, processed, and protected.
