Bird flu claims two deaths this month
The Ministry of Health's Preventive Medicine Department has confirmed the second bird flu fatality of this year.
A joint data venture between FPT’s Information System Corp (FPT IS), KDDI Corp and ITX Corp of Japan, called Telehouse Vietnam, began operating in Hanoi on Tuesday.
According to Dao Vu Long, Telehouse Vietnam’s Managing Director, the increasing demand for data centers is directly proportional to Vietnam’s rapid development of its information and technology sector.
The joint venture between FPT IS and the two Japanese corporations aims to bring a new data center up to international standards to Vietnam, he said.
The center, which sits on a 1,900-square-meter site, is designed and equipped with global data center Telehouse standards to ensure round-the-clock security for customers’ datum and minimize any risks, even during power cuts.
Covering 39 locations in ten countries worldwide, the global Telehouse central data system, which facilitates telecommunications services, is now ready to provide its services to Vietnam.
FPT IS is a joint stock company under the FPT Group, with eight subsidiary companies and a joint venture with Japan. It has more than 2,200 specialists in software, IT services, general businesses and electrical services.
