Hungary intends to contribute in the construction of Tier 3 regional DATA-center in Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Communications and High Technologies ministry reported.

The issue was discussed at a meeting of a joint working group of Azerbaijan and Hungary on cooperation in the use of innovative technologies.

The Hungarian side has been informed in detail about the work being done in Azerbaijan for the construction of a regional DATA-center.

The DATA-center will be commissioned soon. The need to create the DATA Center is obvious in the face of the dynamic growth of the number of Internet users and Internet content.

Commissioning of the DATA-center will promote the popularization of the cloud services and accelerate the transition to cloud computing. The project is implemented with the support of UNDP.

The data center is under construction on an area stretching over 1,000 square meters. At the initial stage, the number of server cabinets at the center will reach 200, the volume of the array - 30 petabytes, and data transfer rate - 10-100 gigabits per second. As needs will grow, the power of the center will be increased.

The center will ensure stable operation in case of failure of any node of the system, as it will have a record of 99.985 percent availability.

Clients of the disaster-proof DATA center can stay sure that their data is safe.

The Data center will be the first data center of the kind in the region. The Center will also provide services to countries in the region and the world's largest companies such as Google, Facebook and others.

Hungary has showed an interest in Azerbaijan ICT sector before, and presented their companies at the traditional BakuTel exhibition.
