US firm supports Vietnam’s testing micro-modular data centre

US company Dot VN Inc. and Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) have signed a memorandum of understanding to conduct a test of elliptical mobile solutions' (EMS) C3-SPEAR Micro-Modular Data Centre equipment at VNNIC's primary Internet data centre in Hanoi.

Accordingly, Dot VN and VNNIC will partner together to evaluate the performance of EMS' data centre infrastructure technology in a trial that is expected to initially last three months.

The test is aimed at demonstrating the technology's capabilities with the intention of building data centres in Vietnam and Asia based on EMS' Micro-Modular Data Centre equipment.

VNNIC will be responsible for providing the technical staff who will manage the testing and operation of the data centre unit, while Dot VN will provide support to VNNIC as necessary in the implementation of the test.

"We are extremely excited about the testing that will be performed in Hanoi over the next three months," remarked Dot VN CEO Thomas Johnson.

He continued, "EMS' C3-SPEAR Micro-Modular Data Centre is cutting edge technology that is both mobile and highly scalable. Given that both the cost and availability of electricity in Vietnam continues to be an ongoing challenge for sustained IT growth, we believe that the C3-SPEAR's industry leading energy efficiency is the ideal solution to overcome this issue."

California-based Dot VN, Inc. (www.DotVN.com) provides innovative Internet and telecommunication services for Vietnam and operates and manages Vietnam's innovative online media web property, www.INFO.vn.

The company now operates offices in Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
