Rostelecom: KINGISEPP Data Center
About KINGISEPP Data Center
Situated at Profilaktornaya Ulitsa 11, Kingisepp (Leningrad Region, Russia), the Kingisepp Data Center is operated by Rostelecom and serves as a strategically positioned facility in Russia’s north-western digital infrastructure network. The site provides connectivity and data-centre capacity for the industrial and logistics corridor centred on Kingisepp and the nearby Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga. Being outside the major metro hubs offers benefits including resilience, lower density risk, and close proximity to major fibre transit routes.
Rostelecom’s broader data-centre network comprises multiple sites across Russia, and this facility contributes to their regional footprint and capacity-scaling strategy.
⚙️ Facility Highlights
- The Kingisepp site is listed as having a critical power capacity of approximately 2 MW, according to publicly available listing data.
- Infrastructure includes redundancy in mains power feeds and dedicated cooling systems designed to maintain optimal conditions for equipment operations.
- Located in a region with strong heavy-industry and logistics presence, the facility’s site supports colocation, enterprise and network-services deployments.
- The Kingisepp location benefits from proximity to major fibre-optic systems (including subsea or regional transit links) that support the Baltic-region gateway and Russian backbone connectivity.
🔐 Security & Compliance
- The data-centre is protected with multi-layer physical security: access control, CCTV surveillance, on-site security staff and monitored infrastructure zones.
- As part of Rostelecom’s data-centre portfolio (which reports thousands of racks and strong national infrastructure commitments), the Kingisepp facility aligns with enterprise-grade reliability and availability standards.
- Being operated by a major Russian national telecom operator, the site maintains continuity, service-resilience and regulatory alignment for enterprise, carrier and public-sector clients.
🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access
- The facility is carrier-neutral within the service-offering context of Rostelecom’s network, enabling clients to access multiple network providers, transit services and backbone-connectivity paths.
- Its location in the Kingisepp zone provides strategic access to Baltic Sea subsea-fibre routes, Russian network backbone corridors and regional fibre links—making it suitable for network-sensitive workloads, content distribution and low-latency connectivity across north-western Russia and the Baltics.
- Clients at the Kingisepp facility can benefit from interconnection with Rostelecom’s broader national network, enabling integration into major metro hubs such as St. Petersburg and Moscow for hybrid-deployment or redundancy scenarios.
💼 Who It Serves
- Large enterprises, cloud and content providers seeking a Russian-based colocation node with access to backbone fibre and regional transit.
- Network carriers, interconnect and transit operators building presence or peering points in north-western Russia, especially for Baltic and Northern-European connectivity.
- Manufacturing, logistics and industrial-OT organisations located in the Leningrad/Kingisepp region needing local data-centre footprint for latency-sensitive applications, analytics and edge-compute.
- Government, public-sector and regulated-industry clients requiring data-centre infrastructure within Russia’s legal jurisdiction, with regional dispersion outside major metros.
