Huawei will build a data center for "Akado"

The Chinese company Huawei has entered into an agreement with "Akado" to create a data center in Russia. This is the first time that a DC has been created in Russia by an equipment manufacturer, and not an integrator, Vedomosti writes . The data center will be created for Comcor, which is part of the Akado group of companies. The facility will be located in Moscow on Warsaw highway. At the same time, Huawei performs a full cycle of work - from designing a CD to launching all the equipment.

The first phase of work, according to the plan, should be completed by September 2015. At this stage, the first 100 racks will be installed. Fully the data center at 423 racks will be commissioned in 2016. The total area of ​​the data center will be 2000 sq.m. The amount required for the project is $ 7 million.

The entire data center is based on Huawei technology - from server cabinets to uninterruptible power systems, cooling systems and infrastructure monitoring. The company also pledged to take on the certification of the facility and its biennial support. In total, Huawei has more than 400 data centers in 100 countries around the world.

Currently, the share of Huawei in the Russian and global market of data centers is lower than that of the well-known Western production server equipment. And the creation of a DC for Akado is one of the ways to strengthen the position of the Chinese company.
