VNET Group, Inc.: N-HB01 Data Center

Located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the N-HB01 data centre is part of VNET’s wholesale data-centre cluster just outside the Beijing metropolitan area. Operated by VNET Group, Inc., this facility leverages the company’s extensive Chinese carrier-neutral network footprint and large-scale infrastructure capabilities. It stands out for its ability to support high-density, large-scale retail and wholesale colocation deployments and its strategic proximity to Beijing with robust connectivity to the national fibre backbone.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Operational status: The facility is fully operational and supports VNET’s wholesale data centre business. 
• Infrastructure & scaling: The facility forms part of VNET’s wholesale IDC capacity, which spans hundreds of megawatts across China. For example, VNET’s investor deck cites 332 MW of capacity in service as of March 2024, with N-HB01 listed with ~15 MW capacity under contract/under MoU.
