Neko & A Growth Journey with VNG Cloud: Ensuring Stable Operations for Vietnam’s Digital Newsrooms

2025/07/30 14:00

Neko Technology (Neko) operates ONECMS (onecms.vn), a Content Management System (CMS) widely deployed across hundreds of news agencies in Vietnam. As one of VNG Cloud’s key strategic clients in the media sector, Neko plays a vital role in the country’s digital journalism transformation.

Industry Challenge: Zero Tolerance for Downtime

Serving numerous media organizations — especially state-run outlets — Neko’s CMS must support 24/7 real-time news publishing with minimal system downtime. Previously, while using another provider’s infrastructure, Neko experienced service disruptions that impacted overall system reliability.

From Trust to Growth with VNG Cloud

Since 2020, Neko has gradually migrated parts of its infrastructure to VNG Cloud’s platform. Initially, the company only experimented with a few small-scale services, but after experiencing the platform firsthand, VNG Cloud demonstrated its stability, flexibility, and dedicated support — giving Neko the confidence to expand its operations on this infrastructure.

After 05 years of collaboration, Neko is now leveraging multiple core services from VNG Cloud to ensure stable and efficient operations for its system, which serves millions of readers every day.

  • vServer and vStorage offer a powerful computing foundation and flexible storage capabilities, enabling Neko to easily deploy key applications while ensuring high performance.
  • vLB (Load Balancer) evenly distributes traffic, increasing the availability of Neko’s nationwide news system.
  • vDB (Database) provides secure, efficient, and optimized database management for large volumes of content.
  • vCDN (Content Delivery Network) accelerates the delivery of static content—such as images, videos, and articles—to millions of readers across the country, while reducing the load on central servers.
  • VKS (VNGCloud Kubernetes Services) allows Neko to adopt a modern microservices architecture, scaling flexibly without disrupting operations.
  • vMonitor enables the technical team to monitor the entire system in real time, allowing for rapid detection and resolution of issues.

By adopting a synchronized set of domestic cloud services from VNG Cloud, Neko ensures data security, performance, and scalability — while maintaining full control over its infrastructure without relying on international platforms. This is a strategic step in Neko’s comprehensive digital transformation journey, reaffirming its leadership in technology-driven journalism in Vietnam.

Robust Cloud Infrastructure for Digital Journalism: Secure, Flexible, and Always Ready

Nowadays, Neko has built a solid content management platform that meets the demands of stability, scalability, cost optimization, and compliance with media security standards.

  • High Availability: The system is deployed in a multi-zone architecture with an SLA of up to 99.99%, ensuring the content management system remains stable and continuously operational. Previously, operating in a single zone with the default SLA of 99.94% was no longer sufficient to meet the increasing availability demands—especially during peak news periods. Therefore, as soon as VNG Cloud launched 02 new Availability Zones (AZs) in HCM Region, Neko immediately adopted them to enhance the system’s readiness.
  • Flexible Scalability: The infrastructure supports instant scaling to handle traffic spikes during major news events.
  • Optimized Costs: The pay-as-you-go model allows Neko to optimize operational and investment costs based on actual usage.
  • Security & Compliance: VNG Cloud meets stringent information security standards, making it suitable for government-affiliated press agencies.

The collaboration between Neko and VNG Cloud is not just a technological shift — it’s a strategic move to build a secure, agile digital content platform capable of serving millions of readers every day. With a solid architecture and dedicated support from VNG Cloud, Neko is well-positioned to continue expanding, innovating, and enhancing its services as part of Vietnam’s digital media landscape.

As one of Vietnam’s leading cloud service providers, VNG Cloud offers an integrated ecosystem from Cloud to AI. A key highlight is the AI Stack – a comprehensive platform that enables businesses to effectively deploy, manage, and operate AI solutions. In Q4/2025, VNG Cloud plans to launch a new Availability Zone in Hanoi, further enhancing its nationwide service capabilities.
