Internet telecoms company and authorized global domain name registrar for the country of Vietnam has announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (the "MoU") for the design and implementation of two Internet Data Centers ("IDCs") in Vietnam with Cerelink.
According to a press release, the three phased MoU with Dot VN stipulates that Cerelink will assist the Company in forming strategic partnerships to design and build two IDCs which are intended to service foreign businesses located in Vietnam, the Vietnamese government as well as the country's 85,000,000 citizens. The first IDC will be constructed in the southern center of Ho Chi Minh City and the second in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi. During Phase One, Cerelink and its corporate partners will travel to Vietnam to survey and evaluate preliminary technical designs and project plans. Following approval of the technical designs and plans, the company will initiate Phase Two which requires implementation of the finalized technical design and coordination of the construction of the two IDCs.
Once operational, Dot VN and Cerelink will enter into Phase Three of the MOU, which covers the development and implementation of a "troubleshooting" program and refinement/upgrade of both IDCs by Cerelink.
Thomas Johnson, chairman and CEO of Dot VN commented: "We are very excited to have Cerelink as our strategic project management partner in designing, building and implementing state-of-the-art IDC facilities and we look forward to launching these two commercial grade data centers in 2007. In the near term, we expect to drive growth by offering wholesale turnkey internet and telecom packages such as real time online domain name registration, web and server hosting, mission critical data recovery solutions, co-location services, shared and dedicated servers, e-commerce, VoIP and ISP services. However, our goal is to create new technological hubs which will not only provide standard data center services but also serve as the foundation for deployment of additional cutting edge products and services.
