VSDATA

VSDATA is an Armenian private data center developer and operator headquartered in Yerevan, with its first facility under construction in the Aragatsotn region outside the capital. The company presents itself as a green data center project focused on lowering environmental impact through renewable energy integration, spring water based cooling, and a naturally cooler gorge location. Public reporting and company materials indicate the site is being developed to Tier III / Tier-3 specifications, with a planned 2 MW footprint, 125 racks, and a target go live period by the end of 2025, with colocation services expected to begin in 2026. VSDATA is led by founder and CEO Vladimir Shamirian and appears to be positioning itself around colocation, IaaS, backup, disaster recovery, S3 style storage, network connectivity, and security services for businesses seeking local Armenian infrastructure.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

Data Center Footprint:

VSDATA’s currently visible public footprint is one facility under development in Aragatsotn, outside Yerevan. The company website describes the site as being in a gorge in the Aragatsotn region, about 15 minutes from Yerevan, while third party data center coverage describes it as VSDATA’s first facility.

The project is positioned as an Armenian domestic infrastructure build, rather than a multinational platform. Public material emphasizes Armenia and the South Caucasus market, not a broader multi country operating footprint.

Facility Design & Infrastructure:

VSDATA states the project is designed to Tier-3 specifications and will include two independent power lines, with a third power line in progress. The company also says it is developing a spring water cooling system to reduce electricity consumption and is leveraging the site’s naturally cooler microclimate to lower HVAC load.

Public reporting adds that the facility is planned as a 2 MW, 125 rack site and that it will connect to Yerevan via a 25 km fiber optic line. The company’s press materials also mention a VIP zone for financial institutions.

Service Portfolio Overview:

Public materials attribute the following services to VSDATA:

• Colocation

• Rack rental

• Cloud services / IaaS

• Backup solutions with Veeam

• Disaster recovery

• S3 / object storage

• Cybersecurity

• Network connection

• 24/7 support

• CDN

The company website itself is much lighter on product detail and focuses more on the sustainability and construction story. Several service specifics come from the March 2025 press release and related trade coverage rather than deep service pages on the official site, so those items should be treated as publicly claimed offerings tied to the launch project.

🔐 Security & Compliance

Infrastructure Resilience:

VSDATA publicly says the facility is being built to Tier-3 specifications and will use two independent power lines, with a third in progress, alongside spring water cooling. Those are the clearest resilience claims currently available in public sources.

I did not find a published uptime SLA, a formal Uptime Institute certification claim, or detailed redundancy documentation beyond those design statements. Not publicly listed.

Physical & Logical Security:

The strongest public security evidence is a general claim of 24/7 support and the mention of a VIP zone specifically designed for financial institutions in launch coverage. However, I did not find detailed official documentation for access controls, surveillance, mantraps, staffing model, customer environment segregation, or remote hands procedures on the reviewed official pages. Not publicly listed.

Compliance & Standards:

I did not find public evidence on the reviewed sources for ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, or other named compliance certifications. The company does publish sustainability and Tier-3 design language, but formal compliance certifications are Not publicly listed.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Carrier Neutrality:

Not publicly listed. I found references to a 25 km fiber optic line to Yerevan and “network connection,” but no explicit carrier neutral language.

Network Capabilities:

The clearest connectivity evidence is that the facility is planned to connect to Yerevan via a 25 km fiber optic line, and public launch materials say VSDATA intends to offer network connection and CDN services.

I did not find official evidence for named enterprise networking products such as Ethernet, MPLS, private line, cross connects, or SD WAN under the VSDATA brand. Those should remain Not publicly listed.

Connectivity Use Cases:

• Businesses seeking local Armenian colocation capacity near Yerevan

• Customers wanting IaaS and backup / DR from a new domestic facility

• Organizations prioritizing lower carbon infrastructure and natural cooling design

• Potential finance related workloads suggested by the published VIP zone for financial institutions claim

💼 Who It Serves

Public materials describe VSDATA as serving businesses in various industries and highlight services such as rack rental, cloud, cybersecurity, backup, and DR. That suggests a business focused rather than consumer focused profile.

The mention of a VIP zone for financial institutions suggests at least some targeting of regulated or security conscious customers, though industry specific vertical coverage is otherwise not deeply documented on the official site.
