Cloud X CEO Denis Khleborodov emphasized the uniqueness of the project as the first hyperscale data center in Russia. According to him, this class of facilities imposes increased requirements for a structured cable system, power supply and energy efficiency.

The architecture of the center provides support for various cooling scenarios, which allows you to ensure stable operation of high-density computing loads and flexibly adapt to customer tasks. This configuration is critical for hosting modern AI clusters and supercomputers.

The scale of the project is impressive - the area of ​ ​ the land plot will be more than 155 thousand square meters, and the total area of ​ ​ the designed buildings and structures will exceed 95 thousand square meters. Such dimensions will allow you to accommodate significant computing power.^[1]
