DataSpace

What DataSpace does

DataSpace (ООО «ДатаСпейс Партнерс») is a privately-held Russian cloud and colocation provider that owns and operates a single proprietary TIER III Gold certified data center in Moscow, founded in 2009 jointly with the Russia Partners private equity fund. The Moscow facility, operational since 2012, spans 6,565 m² across 12 identical server halls with 1,152 racks, 9.5 MW of installed capacity and 4.32 MW of IT load, an average PUE of 1.5, and 14+ years of continuous zero-downtime operation. DataSpace is the first Russian facility to hold the full Uptime Institute TIER III cycle (Design 2010, Constructed Facility 2011, Operational Sustainability Gold recertified in 2014, 2017, 2020, 2023, and 2026) and the only NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center partner in Russia.

The company generates revenue across a layered stack: colocation (subscription), public/private/hybrid cloud on VMware Cloud Director (subscription, including a 152-FZ compliant cloud and a newly launched dual-cluster IaaS built on Intel Xeon 6542Y and AMD EPYC 9274F servers with NVMe all-flash storage and a Spine-Leaf VXLAN EVPN fabric), managed IT services, a managed information security platform (DDoS protection up to 400 Gbps via ServicePipe, WAF, NGFW, EDR, SIEM, sandbox, vulnerability management, PAM), DRaaS on VMware Cloud Director Availability, BaaS on Veeam, 1C-optimized cloud, and telecom/connectivity services through a 43-operator ecosystem. Pricing is quote-based on annual contracts; an online cost calculator (calculator.dataspace.ru) provides estimates.

DataSpace serves primarily Russian enterprise customers in regulated and infrastructure-critical verticals — financial exchanges and banks (Moscow Exchange, T-Bank, GPB), telecom operators, cloud providers and system integrators (IT-GRAD, ITGLOBACOM RUS, Softline, Axoft, Yandex.Cloud, VK Cloud), and large retailers (Azbuka Vkusa). Distribution is via direct enterprise sales, an inside sales team, channel partners and resellers, and a multilingual corporate website (Russian, English, Chinese). The company is led by President and General Director Sergey Rasskazov (since July 2014) alongside founder and Executive Director Alexander Volobuev (since May 2009), and remains private under the Russia Partners ownership umbrella.
