The first module of cloud technologies in Siberia Source:

The Discovery of a large data center can not remain unnoticed if it takes place in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but if this is just the beginning of a larger project that is being implemented in Eastern Siberia, it is of even more interest.

The Global market for cloud technologies is at the stage of active growth and development. It is already difficult to imagine life without such technologies in almost all areas. They have affected almost everyone. It may be a trivial backup selfies and photos of cats that we do on their smartphones. This can be a serious problem in the banking sector, which just can't be interrupted or lost and must be accompanied by the highest level of reliability and security. And also this can be the task of national importance. In the latter case, the reliability of storage and data transfer needs to be not just the maximum, and beyond.

We should not forget that the volume of information being processed increases every year twice and in 2020 will amount to 40 trillion gigabytes. That is why the market for such services is actively developing. In Russia, large data processing centers (DPC), which correspond to the world standards of reliability, only in the major cities of the European part of the country. But in the European part of the country the high cost of land rent and electricity. Namely, the energy costs account for more than half the cost of cloud processing.

EN+ Group is the world's leading vertically integrated producer of hydroelectric power and aluminium. Therefore, EN+ group became the first Russian energy company to enter the market of commercial data center using its own electricity. Use your own power greatly reduces the cost and increases the reliability of data centers. This is the main competitive advantage of this project.

At the end of may was opened the first module of the data center «Clouds of Siberia» in Irkutsk. The center is modular and can be expanded by connecting to the same remote centres, as well as completed in place not only in width but also in height.

The Main equipment supplier was the Chinese company Huawei. The choice is not surprising, as Huawei is currently the recognized leader in telecommunications technology, and the technology is used in many such centers.

The Choice of Irkutsk as a place of construction of the first module of the new data center was not accidental. According to General Director-data center «Clouds of Siberia» Alexander Grebnogo, in the Irkutsk region the cheapest electricity and a fairly good climate regime, and with lake Baikal, which works as a natural air conditioning even on the hottest days the temperature does not rise too high. These two factors significantly reduce the energy consumption required to cool the equipment.

Data centers located on the territory of Novo-Irkutsk thermal power station that provides uninterrupted power and reliable protection, since in addition to guard the very center is protected and the entire area of the power plant. In addition to power supply from the cogeneration plant that is fed under ground and has a duplicate line, there is a backup power system, which automatically ensures that the diesel generator for two seconds and output it on maximum power for four seconds. Within the module there are batteries that are able to maintain the autonomy of the module in case of emergency for up to fifteen minutes.

So duplicated and all the rest of the system. For example, the connection with «outside world» has two independent trains, and cooling systems not only have large capacity, but arranged in such a way that even in case of failure of multiple components, the temperature inside the module does not rise to the critical values, and he will be able to function normally as long as the breakage is fixed.

Among the services that the data center will provide customers will a virtual compute and storage (IaaS), relative to the power which we can highlight the following characteristics:

the
    the
  • CPU: 386,4 Ghz (168*2,3 Ghz Cores)
  • the
  • RAM: 2048 Gb
  • the
  • SAN: 165 TBs (SSD 21TBs, HDD-144TBs)

Customers will be offered the software as a service (SaaS) and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS). The level of reliability meets the international standard Tier 3, and all critical systems, as mentioned earlier, repeatedly duplicated.

The result is easy to understand that the project turns out to be very promising and will undoubtedly prove to be significant not only in the regional market, but also can be a link in the field of cloud technologies among Asian countries and Russia, taking its place in the important area of the West — the East.
