2025-07-08

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 biometric access control systems.

·       OVIO Cloud — high-performance cloud platform

·       Cloud Backup, Disaster Recovery, and S3 Object Storage — for secure data storage and recovery

·       Colocation with additional bundled services
