About VNG Data Center
VNG Data Center is certified at Uptime Tier III, a well-recognized global standard which classifies data center performance in its electromechanical infrastructure. To meet Tier III, the data center has to meet the design and implementation to ensure 100% compliance with electrical power and cooling capacity, and no any interruption or reduction in design capacity during the system maintenance period.
The data center also complies with the requirements of TIA 942 regarding providing fail-safe operations and robust protection against disasters to ensure long-term reliability. These security and resilience requirements must be maintained unaffected through future expansion. The building has been strengthened against seismic stress by construction using a modular RC frame.
The carbon impact of the data center has been minimised through efficient design, particularly in the deployment of a hot aisle/cold aisle configuration with a sunken floor design. The data center is designed to a PUE of 1.45, although it achieved 1.33 under Uptime Institute test conditions. At construction, carbon impact was minimized through the use of a sustainable insulated precast facade.
The data center upholds the highest level of security through the Security Operations Center. The tailor-made DCIM system is used for the facility and network automated operating, planning and monitoring to minimize the human mistake, fast fault detects and correction.
The facility is also compliant with TCVN 9250, the local standard developed by the Ministry of Communication, Vietnam, for the operation of data centers and with the requirements of PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security).
