Jurisdiction and compliance
The infrastructure stands on your site in Kazakhstan, which makes personal-data localisation and industry regulator requirements easier to meet.
Custom data centers · turnkey EPC
Your data stays on your premises
We build a turnkey modular data center right on the client’s site: design, supply, installation, commissioning and service — one team, one contract.
Base data center — from KZT 225 M turnkey- Data sovereignty — the infrastructure sits inside your perimeter
- EPC: a single point of responsibility from design to service
- Scale from a single container to a full complex
EPC approach — full cycle

Concept
Why data should stay with the client
When critical systems run on someone else’s site, you depend on their access rules, tariffs and priorities. Your own data center on your premises gives control back.
Full access control
You define physical and logical access: your own perimeter, access control, CCTV and audit logs.
Predictable economics
Capital investment instead of ever-growing rack and bandwidth rent. The infrastructure stays a company asset.
Autonomy and speed
Minimal latency for local systems and continued operation even if external links go down.
Rented capacity or your own data center
A comparison on the criteria that matter to your security team and CFO.
| Criterion | Third-party rental | NLS data center on your site |
|---|---|---|
| Where the data physically lives | On the provider’s site | On your premises |
| Who controls access | The provider and its contractors | Only you and authorised staff |
| Cost model | Recurring rent, indexation | CAPEX, an asset on your balance sheet |
| Scaling | Within the provider’s tariffs | Add containers as needed |

3D model
Two levels of scale
Rotate the model, open the doors, lift the roof and highlight the engineering systems. The configuration shown is a starting point: the final scope is calculated from your brief.
Drag to rotate · scroll/pinch to zoom · tap a component

What a turnkey data center costs
Market benchmarks for the two levels of scale. The exact estimate follows your brief and a site survey — no hidden items.
Base data center
1 containerfrom KZT 225 M
benchmark for an 8-rack module
- Design and solution approval
- Container with IT room and power room
- UPS-backed power, redundant cooling
- Gas fire suppression, access control, CCTV
- Installation, commissioning and testing
Scalable data center
3 connected containersfrom KZT 675 M
benchmark for a three-module complex
- Everything in the base level — for each module
- IT load and engineering split across modules
- Redundant power and cooling
- Capacity commissioned in stages
- Unified monitoring of the complex
Benchmarks are based on public prices of comparable 8-rack container data centers from suppliers in Kazakhstan and Russia (NBK exchange rate, 25.09.2026). Not a public offer; delivery, site preparation and external utilities are quoted separately.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Discuss a projectHow much does a data center cost?
Market benchmark: a base data center in one container starts from KZT 225 M, a three-container complex from KZT 675 M. The exact price depends on IT load, redundancy level and the site — we calculate it from your brief.
What kind of site is needed?
A level base or foundation for the container, access for trucks and a crane, and connection points for power and data links. We specify the requirements during the survey and help prepare the site.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the configuration, site readiness and approvals. An indicative schedule is set in the commercial proposal and the final one in the contract.
Where does your responsibility end?
Under the EPC model we are responsible for design, supply, installation, commissioning and service. The customer provides the site, the grid connection point and site access. The split is fixed in the contract.
Can the data center be expanded later?
Yes. The architecture is modular: the base container is extended with new IT or engineering modules as you grow.
Do you work with tenders and public procurement?
Yes. We prepare the document package to procurement requirements, including Samruk-Kazyna: qualification criteria, local content, tender forms.
What do you need for an estimate?
A short description: planned IT load, number of racks, redundancy requirements and the site. You can attach a specification or questionnaire in the form below.
Who services the data center after launch?
We offer a service contract with scheduled maintenance and monitoring. Operations can also be handed over to your team with training.
