Market picture and "drop point" of VNCDC 2025

On September 25, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Cloud & Datacenter Convention 2025 (VNCDC 2025) gathered more than 750 delegates and over 35 speakers, along with domestic and foreign policy makers and technology enterprises. The conference took place when the Vietnamese cloud & datacenter market is forecast to reach 1.03 billion USD by 2028, thanks to the need for digitalization, international investment capital flows and policy orientation emphasizing data sovereignty .

The agenda shows a wide coverage and depth of discussion: opening with a roundtable on “Digital Ambitions, Real Challenges: Is Vietnam Ready for Hyperscalers?”, followed by sessions on data center investment opportunities, “cyber resilience” capabilities for critical infrastructure, net-zero roadmap with certification/operation standards, “greening the cloud” at scale, compliance requirements for data/personal protection laws, and 10 challenges of DC operations in the AI ​​wave. The conference also emphasized the theme of “cloud convergence - connection - compute” as a new reality when AI and distributed data become operational standards.

Within that framework, VNPT Cloud attended as an honored expert guest, a Cloud service provider in Vietnam, sharing its perspective in 02 Panels and 01 Keynote, content on cloud security issues for critical infrastructure, and other technical-operational exchange sessions.

Edge-to-Cloud Perspective in the Forum Ecosystem

Along with nearly 15 keynotes and thematic panels, the content “From Edge to Cloud: Powering the Future with 5G, Cloud Native & Edge Computing” by a representative from VNPT Cloud added a slice of the real-time needs of the digital economy . Instead of honoring a “focus”, this presentation was placed as a complementary piece to the overall picture: how to reconcile low latency, scalability and operational safety in emerging scenarios such as smart manufacturing, smart cities, digital healthcare, and precision agriculture.

The benefits extend beyond performance. When preprocessing and anonymization are performed at the edge before syncing to the cloud, the attack surface is significantly reduced, helping to meet local storage requirements and compliance obligations. At the governance layer, the need for a seamless orchestration plane from edge to cloud is emphasized: identity/access management (IAM/RBAC), end-to-end encryption, distributed monitoring, and AI-assisted anomaly detection become “default” components of the design, rather than being added later.

VN CDC attracts a large number of attendees and is considered a place to share and connect technology experts in the DC & Cloud industry.

Use cases are set in the Vietnamese context: optimizing urban traffic flows based on real-time data; patient monitoring devices for early warning of abnormalities; agricultural sensors for regulating irrigation based on microclimate. The common denominator is local processing for instant decisions, conference synchronization, flexible expansion in the cloud layer - a technical roadmap that can be realized with open standards, avoiding technology lock-in.

VNPT Cloud's platform capabilities & digital sovereignty commitments

As a unit developing cloud computing solutions and services of VNPT Group, VNPT Cloud said it is operating an ecosystem from IaaS to PaaS on a network of 8 Tier III standard data centers, with a total of more than 4,700 racks. At the security level, the system meets the standards: ISO/IEC 27001 (information security management), ISO/IEC 27017 (control measures for cloud services), PCI DSS Level 1 (payment data processing environment), and Level 3 Information Security Assurance according to Government regulations for systems serving public services. The service portal meets OWASP/ASVS standards - an international application security verification framework.

Regarding the cloud-native platform, VNPT Cloud provides a number of service models such as Kubernetes Service, Elastic Container Registry, CI/CD pipelines as "backbone" capabilities for businesses to modernize applications, standardize deployment and shorten the innovation cycle.

Noted at the conference, the “open, secure and sustainable” approach associated with data sovereignty is creating consensus between the technical community and the operational and compliance sectors. In that picture, domestic platform providers with a complete ecosystem and synchronous security standards like VNPT Cloud play the role of connecting technology problems with legal requirements, converting market demand into deployment capacity.
