After nearly two years of implementation, the Ministry of Public Security has completed the construction of the National Data Center No.1 in Hoa Lac High-tech Park, with a synchronous and modern system of equipment, meeting the set requirements. The center consists of three main components: the Data Exploitation and Analysis Center, the Innovation Center, and the Data Storage Center. Along with the National Database System, the center is considered the “heart” of digital transformation and the “brain” of the nation’s prosperous future; aligning with the spirit of Resolution 57-NQ/TW recently issued by the Politburo, which is being vigorously implemented.
At the ceremony, the Prime Minister and delegates were introduced to 21 digital platforms, core products, and utilities developed to build a “national digital ecosystem” based on centralized data. These include the National Data Sharing and Coordination Platform, the National Public Service Portal, the Government and Prime Minister’s Information System for Steering and Administration, and the Data Floor, among others.
The National Data Center under the Ministry of Public Security immediately commenced operations to serve Party agencies, the State, the Government, citizens, and businesses in administrative procedures, steering and administration, and the development of the digital economy and society, bringing core values. Moving forward, the Ministry of Public Security will focus on both operating the National Data Center No.1 and proceeding with the construction of the National Data Center No.2 and No.3 according to the planned roadmap.
One of the largest data centers in the region
Spanning over 20 hectares, the National Data Center is one of the largest data centers in Southeast Asia. It is the first national-level center to be awarded international certificates with the highest level of recognition. The center is designed to withstand disasters and maintain a high level of security and safety.
The first phase of the project was completed in over nine months, meeting all requirements and saving the state budget nearly VND 1,200 billion.
The “heart” of the country’s digital transformation
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the implementation of the National Data Center construction project has provided valuable lessons in managing and organizing large-scale, high-tech projects, which can be applied in the future.
To continue building the National Data Centers No.2 and No.3 and promote the value of the National Data Center, the Prime Minister directed the unification and promulgation of several viewpoints. He stressed that as the nation enters a new era of prosperity and the pursuit of the two hundred-year goals, it is imperative to break through in science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation, with the National Data Center serving as the heart of these efforts.
