DPC Megafon in Samara - 3.2 hectares: 6912 sq.m. with 6 autohalls

OJSC MegaFon was opened by a new data processing center in Samara which, according to the experts, has the characteristics of reliability and security, best in Russia. The project investment cost made more than 900 million rubles. Design and integration of engineering infrastructure of a complex of 6912 sq.m were performed by CROC company.

OJSC MegaFon — only of three largest mobile operators of Russia which unrolled own network and renders all range of services of mobile communication in all territory of the country. The new data processing center will become a leader of the industry and a crucial element of the DPC future federal network.

On October 8, 2010 in Samara official opening of the Technology data processing center (DPC) of MegaFon company, largest in Russia, took place. The complex of buildings occupies the space in 3.2 hectares. The total area of DPC is 6912 sq.m. with 6 autohalls. The building is located in the flood-free area, in it 100% reservation on power supply are implemented. Bearing capacity of overlappings – up to 5 tons on 1 sq.m.

Construction of DPC continued 2 years. The complex conforms to the international standard on telecommunication infrastructure of data processing centers of EIA/TIA-492. Capacity on power supply of network of the center - up to 200 Gbit/sec. Pre-trial detention of Uptime Institute about compliance of the Samara DPC to level of reliability of TIER III is received.

Resources of DPC are available to the companies of a different profile performing activity in Russia and other countries of the world. Among the main services: lease of space for placement of technology equipment and connection to channels of the Internet, providing in lease of servers, a hosting.

Specialists of CROC company performed design and installation of 16 engineering systems of DPC, including power supply systems, providing a microclimate, fire safety and protection. Management of all systems happens in the uniform dispatching center which is an intellectual core of engineering infrastructure of a complex.

"We provided 100% reservation of all engineering subsystems so the DPC is ready to work independently 365 days in a year without interruption in work of services — Shirokov Alexander, the director of the department of intellectual buildings of CROC company commented — this DPC already received a preliminary estimate of Uptime Institute [1] about compliance to the TIER III. standard with coefficient of fault tolerance of 99.982%. Now we work on that at the beginning of 2011 the official certificate was received. So in Russia there will be the first DPC which in a year cannot interrupt the work more, than for 1.6 hours. By the way, around the world the DPCs certified on Tier III, only 14. I think, it is possible not to explain that the companies using this standard for arrangement of DPC invested in the future, in unique competitive advantages, flexibility and stability of business".
