Key facts

Reported facts

Structured facts sourced from citations already on this record. Each fact traces to a source in the References section below.

Groundbreaking Apr 23 2025 / Tan Phu Trung (reported)

On April 23, 2025, Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group held a groundbreaking for the Viettel High-Tech Data and Research & Development Center at Tan Phu Trung Industrial Park, Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City, as reported by VietnamPlus (Vietnam News Agency) and Saigon Giai Phong. Major General Tao Duc Thang, Viettel chairman and CEO, framed the campus as a strategic piece of Viettel's national digital infrastructure (VietnamPlus, Apr 23 2025; SGGP, Apr 24 2025)

140 MW design / ~10,000 racks / ~4 ha (reported)

Coverage of the groundbreaking cites Viettel figures of nearly 4 hectares, designed electrical capacity up to 140 MW, and about 10,000 racks, described as Vietnam's first data center above 100 MW and among the top 10 in Southeast Asia by capacity (Viettel-stated design targets reported by VietnamPlus/SGGP; not independently audited live IT MW) (VietnamPlus, Apr 23 2025; SGGP, Apr 24 2025)

Phase 1 Q1 2026 / full before 2030 (reported)

VietnamPlus and SGGP report Viettel targeting Phase 1 operations in Q1 2026 and full project completion before 2030. Treat these as announced schedule targets from the April 2025 groundbreaking, not as confirmed energization (VietnamPlus, Apr 23 2025; SGGP, Apr 24 2025)

Uptime Tier III design / not Hoa Lac GPUs (reported)

SGGP reports the Cu Chi facility is designed and to be operated to Uptime Tier III standards. Registry notes separately: Viettel's NVIDIA DGX B200 supercomputer is at Hoa Lac (Hanoi), not this HCMC site; no GPU systems are published for Cu Chi in these groundbreaking reports and none are invented here (SGGP, Apr 24 2025)
