The formation of the site began at the end of 2024 with the aim of modernizing and expanding the existing RTK-DPC laboratory. This R&D complex has organized testing of promising technical solutions and deployment of stands for productive solutions and key projects of the company (, GEOP IEP, OKII,). State that

As a result of the scaling of the RTK-DPC laboratory, tests of all the main infrastructure components available on the Russian market have become possible. Such studies will identify and eliminate shortcomings in new IT developments. This is especially important both for manufacturers producing new import-substituted components, and for business representatives, government agencies that build their IT infrastructure based on new solutions.

To create a test complex, infrastructure components of domestic manufacturers (network servers equipment, DSS systems, virtualizations server racks, remote control, etc.), which are included in the registers and, were used. Ministry of Industry and Trade RUSSIAN FEDERATION Ministry of Digital Development The number of racks and the speed of one-time tests increased 2 times, and it also became possible to create dedicated stands for key projects. The lab can be used in Lab-as-a-service (LabaaS) mode, which allows research customers to deploy virtual test benches themselves.

Domestic manufacturers are guided by the results of our tests and are refining their technologies in accordance with the results of testing. Thus, we set the trend for the development of domestic IT systems and confirm the status of the practical regulator of the import substitution market in Russia, said Alexander Vlasov, Head of Research and Development of New Solutions at RTK-DPC.

Launch of the Public Cloud site in Medvedkovo-2

The company RTK-DPC (a subsidiary of Rostelecom"") on May 26, 2025 announced the commissioning of another one - Public Cloud sites Medvedkovo-2. More. here

The total power of Medvedkovo-2 is more than 28 thousand virtual processors (vCPU) with a frequency of 3.0 GHz, 64 TB of RAM and almost 1.2 PB of storage with disks of various types (SSD, SAS and SATA). The site is connected to the cloud platform management system - this provides users with direct access to digital services.

2023: The launch of the Medvedkovo data center

On February 28, 2023, Rostelecom announced the commissioning of a new data center in Moscow. It was named "Medvedkovo" and is located in the eponymous district of the capital at the address: Chermyanskaya street, vl. 4.

The total area of ​ ​ the data center is 20 thousand m2. The facility is designed for 16 machine rooms with a capacity of 312 standard racks each with a design capacity of 36 MW. As part of the first stage, 1,248 racks were launched in four machine rooms with a total capacity of 9 MW.

The data center is designed for 16 machine rooms

It is stated that the data center corresponds to the level of protection Tier III. The project uses special engineering solutions: redundancy of energy and cold supply, telecommunication routes, fire extinguishing and monitoring systems are implemented with a power reserve exceeding the N + 1 standard. This means that if one of the power units of the equipment fails and even if the additional power supply fails, the power reserve will still remain at N + 1.

In addition, the data center provides for the separation of the rack area and engineering infrastructure. The operation service will maintain the infrastructure without contact with the machine room. The volume of investments in the project was not disclosed.

Rostelecom DPC plans to increase capacity and resume high rates of launch of new projects. At the end of May 2023, the second stage of the Medvedkovo data center should be launched for another 1248 racks, and by the end of 2023 the site will be fully commissioned. Also in 2023, it is planned to open another major project - the Moscow-V data center of Tier IV level.

Suppliers leaving the market and significant changes in the data center market have become the basis for developing new approaches. We are one of the few who are launching a large-scale project in the current realities, while implementing unique solutions. The new Medvedkovo project is designed to ensure the highest safety and reliability of equipment, "said Sergey Bochkarev, General Director of Rostelecom DPC.
