GreenMDC

What GreenMDC does

GreenMDC (legal entity OOO «GRIN EmDiSi», founded 2013 in Saint Petersburg) is a Russian designer and manufacturer of prefabricated modular data centers (MDCs) and the integrated engineering infrastructure that goes inside them — cooling, UPS/power, fire safety, monitoring, and structural enclosures. The company sells to industrial enterprises, federal and regional government bodies, telecom operators and commercial DC networks, scientific and educational institutions, healthcare providers, and retailers across Russia and CIS countries, serving customers such as NOVATEK, AvtoVAZ, Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill, Lenenergo, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), JINR, 3data, BIOCAD, MAI, and Yulmart.

The product portfolio spans fixed-size and scalable modular configurations: FixedSized MDC Indoor (12-32 racks), FixedSized MDC Outdoor (climate-hardened), CUBiC mini-MDCs (2-6 racks), TelecomOutdoor NG (16-192 racks with hot-scaling), TelecomOutdoor NGm/NGm-3D (compact scalable 2-18 racks), Modular Data Room (custom indoor), and ruggedized variants. Technical differentiation rests on a space-frame metal structure with an internal sandwich-panel sarcophagus that eliminates thermal bridges, a combined free-cooling and air-conditioning system delivering PUE of 1.15-1.35, patented hot-scaling for capacity addition without downtime, and a transportable form factor using standard road-transport dimensions. Modules are factory-assembled and tested before deployment, enabling installation cycles measured in months rather than the 1.5-2 years required for traditional build-outs.

GreenMDC monetizes through four streams: (1) outright hardware sales of MDC units, (2) design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning professional services delivered turnkey, (3) a managed 'MDC as a Service' rental offering (3M rubles initial fee plus monthly fees, Tier III reliability, Softline-maintained), and (4) 36-month leasing arranged through Siemens Finance with a 20% down payment and regressive schedule. Distribution is hybrid: a direct enterprise sales motion led by Commercial Director Georgy Malyshev targeting large projects, supported by an extensive certified partner network anchored by platinum partner Softline Solutions, plus Telinter Distribution and roughly 20 regional integrators and resellers across Russia.
