Data protection is a matter of global concern and is becoming an important issue on the agenda of the Vietnamese Government.
The data localization requirement under the Cybersecurity Law, plus the need for better processing speeds to assist Vietnamese users are the main drivers, which are anticipated to significantly enhance the demand for data centers in the country.
The Vietnamese Government’s inclination toward digitization has further bolstered the demand for data centers across the country.
