Building a Data Center in 8 Months \u2013 Hard to Believe but True!<\/h1>\n

Data Center (DC) construction time is currently a major headache in the Vietnamese market. Many projects take 2 to 3 years to complete, and some major providers even spend up to 5 years without being able to put them into operation. So, what is the breakthrough solution to keep up with the digital speed era?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s look at an impressive example from our neighboring country Malaysia with the MY-01<\/strong> project. This is the first prefabricated modular data center completed in a mere 8 months<\/strong>. This information was recently shared by expert Paul Mah, bringing a completely new perspective on network infrastructure deployment.<\/p>\n

MY-01 Project Details: A Modular Data Center<\/h2>\n

Built in the Sedenak Tech Park, Malaysia, MY-01 boasts a modern 3-story structure with notable technical specifications:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Impressive capacity:<\/strong> Reaches 16.2MW with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of < 1.4.<\/li>\n
  • Cooling technology:<\/strong> Utilizes an air cooling system (Fan Wall system), combined with a thermal storage tank and VRLA batteries.<\/li>\n
  • Expansion vision:<\/strong> In Phase 2, this DC will deploy an additional 500 racks with a capacity of up to ~130kW.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Lightning Speed: Building a Data Center is Like “Playing with Lego”<\/h2>\n

    The secret behind this 8-month record is the use of pre-assembled modules from the BrightRay<\/strong> factory. Up to 90% of the components<\/strong>, from steel frames and cable trays to equipment, are manufactured, tested, and carefully packed before being transported to the site for “assembly.” On-site work primarily focuses on assembly, equipment connection, and pouring fireproof concrete.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to this method, the construction schedule is shortened to an unbelievable degree:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \u23f1\ufe0f It only took 70 days<\/strong> to complete the foundation.<\/li>\n
    • \u23f1\ufe0f It took exactly 22 days<\/strong> to finish assembling the entire 3-story structure.<\/li>\n
    • \u23f1\ufe0f The total time took only about 3 months<\/strong> to achieve a complete structural framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Notably, according to a BrightRay representative, with this model, they are fully capable of completing a massive Data Center with a capacity of 30\u201360MW in just 6 months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Other Interesting Highlights of the Project<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Spacious environment:<\/strong> Unconstrained like traditional container modules, MY-01 features a ceiling height of 6-8 meters, providing an extremely ideal operating space.<\/li>\n
      • Supply chain:<\/strong> The project prioritizes the maximum use of domestic Malaysian components.<\/li>\n
      • Cooling innovation:<\/strong> Phases 2 & 3 of the project will transition to using Dry Cooler technology, replacing traditional cooling towers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Is This Model Suitable for Vietnam?<\/h2>\n

        With superior deployment speed and optimized technology, the prefabricated modular Data Center is truly a revolutionary concept. With such speed and technology, could a modular Data Center be the perfect answer for Vietnam’s network infrastructure in the booming era of AI and Cloud?<\/p>\n
