Chinese company claims first wind-powered underwater data centre

With Vietnam’s rules on storing data locally causing a surge in demand, local data centre operators are apparently unable to cope. Thus Vietnam has decided that foreign investors can now own data centres in the country.

Digital infrastructure company Equinix announced on Tuesday it will invest around US$500 million in phases over the next ten years to cash in on Thailand’s bustling data centre scene, starting with two new IBX data centres in Bangkok.

Qatar-based telecoms player Ooredoo Group announced on Sunday that it has signed a deal to become an Nvidia Cloud Partner (NCP) to enable development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the MENA region.
