January 24, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Vietnamese IT solutions provider Quang Trung Software City (quangtrungsoft.com.vn) and a US-invested firm DOT Vietnam will invest dozens of million US dollars in developing Vietnam’s largest data center by September and two other centers by 2010, a corporate official said Thursday.
The southern Ho Chi Minh City-headquartered QTSC and DOT Vietnam will jointly invest around $10 million in constructing the 3,281 square foot center. Once becoming operational in September, the facility will provide hosting and backup services to such major clients as government agencies, multinationals, financial groups and banks, said QTSC CEO Chu Tien Dung.
QTSC provides software production, and provision of facilities and services to software developers in an area of 141,076 square feet in the city. DOT Vietnam plans to invest about $45 million into building two other Internet data centers in Vietnam by 2010, said Dung.
Vietnam had approximately 18.6 million Internet users, or more than 22 percent of its total population by the end of 2007. This is a significant increase compared to the nearly 14.7 million users the country had by the end of 2006, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center under the Ministry of Information and Communications.
