Japanese internet and network services provider Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) has completed construction of the service infrastructure for Vietnamese operator FPT Telecom's public cloud service FPT HI GIO CLOUD. Service will begin on 31 March, IIJ said. The cloud service is a joint project with FPT Telecom, a subsidiary of Vietnamese IT conglomerate FPT Corporation.

Officially announced in October 2016, the FPT HI GIO CLOUD service will enable the Vietnamese operator to provide a cloud environment that is directly connected to its backbone network in domestic data centers.

The service is available on an hourly basis and allows for the online sign up of required resources, such as CPUs and memory. The service's infrastructure is directly connected to FPT Telecom's internet backbone network. The network between FPT Telecom and IIJ is interoperated and enables a low-latency communication environment, also between Japan and Vietnam.

The service allows for the issuance of official receipts-the so-called "red invoices", to comply with Vietnam's corporate tax system, billing monthly payment on invoice, various charging type responding to customer demands etc. FPT Telecom will also open a 24-hour call center, where it will provide support in both English and Vietnamese.
