Product Ecosystem

vServer Cloud Servers

The core IaaS product offers General, High CPU and High Memory instances from about 238,392 VND/month, with VPC network isolation, encrypted storage, snapshots and elastic scaling. See cloud server configuration guide for sizing.

vStorage and vDB

vStorage provides NVMe SSD block storage, object storage and file storage; vDB offers managed MariaDB, MySQL and Redis databases for transactional and caching workloads.

VKS Containers and Automation

A managed Kubernetes service paired with Terraform for infrastructure as code, alongside vMonitor monitoring and a vBackup backup center, see cloud server backup strategy.

GPU Cloud and AI Platform

GPU Cloud is built on NVIDIA H100/A40/L40S/RTX 5090 for AI/ML training and inference; the AI Platform provides model-as-a-service (MaaS) and intelligent document processing (IDP).

Limitations

• Limited regional coverage: Data centers focus on Vietnam and Southeast Asia with few nodes elsewhere, so cross-border latency is higher and needs a CDN.
• No Chinese localization: The console and docs are primarily in Vietnamese/English with no Chinese interface, raising the barrier for Chinese teams.
• Smaller international ecosystem: Compared with mainstream providers such as AWS and Alibaba Cloud, community resources and third-party ecosystems are more limited, so local support is important.

Use Cases

• Vietnam / Southeast Asia businesses (★★★★★): Local data centers with low latency and data-localization compliance make it the top choice for the Vietnamese market, see overseas server selection guide.
• Vietnamese compliance for expanding businesses (★★★★★): Meets Vietnam's data storage and digital government compliance requirements.
• AI training and inference (★★★★): NVIDIA GPU cloud and AI Platform suit AI businesses in Southeast Asia.
• Global / China-facing workloads (★★): Node coverage is limited; prefer mainstream international clouds with a CDN.

Pricing
