DataPro's new data center opens in Khimki near Moscow in 2020

Russian operator of the world standard DataPro data center network opened its new and second DataPro II data center in Khimki, Moscow region, at the beginning of 2020. The new data center's capacity was 3,000 new rack space, which allowed the company to occupy 7.5% of the market and the third position in the domestic data center ranking according to iKS-Consulting.

"Many large companies - both Russian and foreign - began to take rack space in reserve. Among them are companies from China - they continue to expand into the Russian market. In this regard, the resources deployed in our data centers will be used to serve both Russian and European as well as Asian markets," commented Evgeny Bogdanchikov, executive director of the company.

DataPro II Khimki was built in record time and in accordance with all the necessary international standards. Already today the datacenter is actively exploited, and the IT systems of the first customers have been placed there. By the time of its opening, the company's current and new customers reserved more than 85% of the capacity.

"Such demand for DataPro data centers is due to the quality of the engineering infrastructure and high level of reliability, including 99.999% service availability," the company commented.

DataPro meets the needs of the most demanding customers through solutions that are unique in terms of reliability and availability of computing infrastructure. For instance, DataPro Khimki data center has successfully passed the Uptime Institute full certification for compliance with Tier III level of fault tolerance. TIER-III level of reliability means that all active equipment is redundant, at least according to N+1 principle, and the failure or planned shutdown for maintenance of any equipment does not lead to the stoppage of data center work. This means that the infrastructure allows for scheduled maintenance works without stopping the services, so they remain available to the customers in their entirety.
