In the grand opening ceremony, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung stated that his ministry pays special attention to the growth of the digital infrastructure in the country (telecoms, IoT, technological services, digital platforms). Data infrastructure is the most important among them, and telecoms carriers should invest in this matter for more development space.

The Minister informed that Vietnam has a faster data growth rate than the global one. The country now owns 39 data centers of different scales, but each year it needs to open 5 such centers as VNPT IDC Hoa Lac to satisfy the growing demands of the community.

“Since data is the vital resource in the digital economy, the prosperity of a nation in the future depends on data processing and storing. Big data will become the largest industry. Thus, domestic telecoms enterprises must have a suitable vision on data processing to answer the needs of both the Government, businesses, and society. This is also a logical way to attract more foreign companies to Vietnam”, said the Minister.

Minister Hung encouraged domestic businesses to favor Vietnamese cloud computing and data services, especially when the national ones have met even the strictest criteria in the world and offered competitive prices. He proposed that instead of trying to run their own rather ineffective data centers or IT systems, ministries, state agencies, and local authorities should choose professional data service units for cost efficiency and safety.

This is also a chance for domestic data service providers to develop and become even more professional, he concluded.
