Armenia has solidified its position on
the international map of modern and reliable IT infrastructure thanks to the
data center operated by OVIO. OVIO’s data center is certified by the Uptime
Institute with the TIER III designation and is the only TIER III certified data
center in Armenia.
The Uptime Institute is a leading
global organization that assesses the reliability of data centers. It develops
international standards and performs strict, independent evaluations across the
entire lifecycle—from design and construction to operational resilience. This
results in a clear and globally recognized certification map, where OVIO's data center is now officially listed as a trusted
hub.
According to the TIER III standard, a
data center must have redundant versions of all essential infrastructure
components. This ensures uninterrupted operation and service availability even
during planned maintenance of any system.
“Armenia is now recognized as a
reliable, resilient, and scalable country for IT solutions. OVIO’s TIER III
certified data center—the only one of its kind in the country—is of strategic
importance and strengthens Armenia’s position both regionally and globally. We
will continue to invest in Armenia’s technological potential, transforming it
into a key hub for digital services and secure data processing,” said Hayk
Faramazyan, General Director of OVIO.
Located in the town of Abovyan, just 16
km from Yerevan, OVIO’s data center offers a secure and scalable infrastructure
for businesses, government institutions, and technology partners. With a total
capacity of 2 MW, it is connected to Armenia’s power grid through two
independent 35 kV substations. The center houses 216 server racks, each with a
capacity of 5 kW, and is equipped with advanced cooling, fire suppression, and
