Data CentresThere are two potential data centres in Volga Trader's deal book.
Data centre in Moscow Our Moscow offer is a site in the centre of the city. It was formerly an electrical generating station. It is surplus to requirements. The area is well supplied with power, transmission lines and distribution lines. Water cooling is possible. Communications are excellent and robust. The site has a substantial cellar to provide a measure of anti terrorist security. It has the potential to become the data centre of choice in Moscow. |
Data centre in the Urals
To match the Moscow data centre, as a remote mirror site, Volga Trader can offer a redundant thermal power station in the Ural Federal District about 1000 miles from Moscow but reachable by plane. The site once housed a thermal power station and has good transmission and distribution links. There is currently a plan to build a 21.5 MW gas turbine generating set to sell power to the local area at peak load. There is further land on which to build a data centre site. Local labour costs are low. |
