DESIGN
OF
INTERNET DATA CENTER IN HANOI
AGREEMENT
MADE this 1st day of May, 2007 between CERELINK, Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation with its principal place of business in Corrales, New Mexico, United
States of America ("CERELINK") and DOT VN Inc., a Delaware corporation with
its
principal place of business in San Diego, California, United States of America
("DOT VN").
WHEREAS,
DOT VN intends to design, implement, and maintain an Internet Data Center
(“IDC”), for the purpose of Internet hosting and data warehousing, in Hanoi,
Vietnam.
WHEREAS,
DOT VN intends to eventually develop the IDC as a “technology core” for the
eventual development of specialized technical applications such as the
establishment of a wireless broadband network in Hanoi and subsequent
development of e-business, e-healthcare, e-marketing, and distance education
technical applications. Although these technical applications will be
contemplated in this work, the actual development and implementation of these
applications is outside the scope of this work. As this applications phase
of
the project becomes feasible, CERELINK and DOT VN may enter into a separate
agreement to complete these specialized technical applications.
WHEREAS,
DOT VN wishes to contract with CERELINK for the technical design of the IDC
in
Hanoi. It is agreed that CERELINK will serve in the role of general project
manager for the design of the IDC (“The Project”).
WHEREAS,
CERELINK wishes to provide such design services;
NOW,
THEREFORE, for consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
acknowledged, CERELINK and DOT VN agree as follows:
1. Project
Goals.
The
goals of the Project are as follows:
a. Based
on
a Three Million Dollar ($3,000,000) total build out budget, design an
innovative, scalable, fully functioning IDC, which utilizes leading edge
technology and fills approximately 10,000 square feet, to be housed in the
new
VNNIC building in Hanoi, Vietnam;
b. In
an
effort to design the IDC in Hanoi, CERELINK intends to contract with Federal
Communications Group to design a technically robust hard wiring and physical
infrastructure that will enable DOT VN to employ an innovative network to serve
their client base; Cerelink intends that

c. CERELINK
intends to contract with Intel Corporation to create an innovative and
technically robust network design for the IDC in Hanoi. Cerelink intends
that
the network design will include, but is not limited to, the design of all
networked infrastructure including bandwidth requirements, intelligent data
switching, identification of server fabric and data storage networking
platforms, and identification of optical network platforms. Cerelink intends
that the network design will also contemplate the IDC interactive services
which
include security services, and application delivery and integration services.
Furthermore, Cerelink intends that the network design will create a data
management framework that will comprehend such things as configuration,
security, provisioning, and fault management services.
d. CERELINK
intends to contract with the Uptime Institute in an effort to design an IDC
that
contemplates international IDC standards and that eventually will certify that
the IDC conforms to these standards. There will be no cost to DOT VN above
and
beyond the overall project cost identified in this document for the Uptime
Institute’s certification service.

e. CERELINK
intends to seek the advice and support of AFCOM who will provide education
and
resource materials relevant to the development and sustainability of the IDC
in
Hanoi such has case studies, best known practices, etc. CERELINK will offer
DOT
VN and all project stakeholders a one year Corporate membership.
f. CERELINK
and its contractors intend to create an IDC design that will ultimately allow
the IDC to be technically flexible and scaleable according to DOT VN’s evolving
business needs.
g. CERELINK
intends to coordinate with our corporate contractors strategic and/or discounted
pricing on all products, technologies, and services associated with the
development of the IDC in Hanoi.
h. CERELINK
will work with DOT VN to develop and execute a project marketing and promotion
plan. This plan will include, but not limited to a media marketing strategy,
a
marketing plan for industry/trade publications, and the development of a case
study which describes the project development and eventual project
outcomes.
i. CERELINK
will make available to DOT VN travel grants to be used for strategic site
visits. Each travel request will be submitted in writing by DOT VN to CERELINK
30 days before the requested travel date. CERELINK will evaluate each travel
request according to the strategic value of the travel and its overall cost.
CERELINK has the exclusive right to accept or deny any travel request with
a
written explanation.
j. CERELINK
will assist DOT VN in the design, development, and implementation of a
demonstration of a Motorola wireless broadband network on the campus of QTSC
in
Ho Chi Minh City. The wireless broadband network will target selected areas
of
the QTSC campus and provide end-users with wireless Internet connectivity.
It is
intended that a separate agreement of the project scope and logistics will
be
developed between CERELINK and DOT VN for the development of this system. The
development of this demonstration project will be completed at no cost to DOT
VN.
