However, the development of data centers also creates various environmental challenges due to the huge amount of electricity consumed. The trend of Green data centers is to apply new technologies and solutions to save energy, to be safe and durable. Therefore, sustainability is indispensable to achieve the dual goal of Digital Transformation and Green Transformation.
As a leading telecommunications technology corporation in Vietnam with the philosophy "Business links with social responsibility", Viettel is clearly aware of the inevitability of sustainable development. Viettel IDC, which is a member of the Military Industry and Telecoms Group (Viettel), is a pioneer in applying new technologies and solutions to save energy and be environmentally friendly, ensuring efficiency. For example, optimal energy use is achieved at Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center with the PuE index keeping below 1,5, 12% lower than existing data centers in Vietnam. Viettel Hoa Lac Data Center, which is the Viettel IDC's newest data center, opened in April this year. In 2023, Viettel IDC saved nearly 3,000,000 kWh in operating data centers, equivalent to reducing about 2,100 tons of CO2 emissions. In particular, this June, Viettel IDC pioneered to become the first Cloud Computing and Data Center service provider in Vietnam to publish a Sustainability Report.
