Profile

VNET Group, Inc.VNETInformation Technology

Provides retail and customized wholesale data-center services, plus cloud and VPN services. Its China-focused footprint combines carrier- and cloud-neutral infrastructure with both retail colocation and customized capacity for hyper-large clients.

Retail IDC services house customers' servers and networking equipment, while customized wholesale IDC sites serve hyper-large clients. Cloud and VPN services extend the hosting offering.

Operations are concentrated in China, with carrier- and cloud-neutral data centers in more than 30 cities. The business combines retail colocation with customized wholesale capacity rather than relying on a single customer format.

Founded by Josh Sheng Chen, the company began carrier-neutral data-center operations in 1999 and remains founder-led through Chen's executive chair role. Its hosting and related services depend on data-center infrastructure that connects enterprise customers to networks.
