Two new data centers will be built in Azerbaijan based on green technologies and with decarbonized materials.
The data centers will be on the balance sheet of “AzInTelecom” LLC, subordinate to the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan. A number of advanced technologies and methods will be used to minimize carbon emissions in the main and backup data centers to be built in the Absheron and Hajigabul regions. In order to maintain ecological balance, innovative approaches such as energy efficiency, efficient use of water, waste disposal and natural cooling systems will be applied in both buildings.
The “TIER 3 Design” certificate, which sets international quality standards for sustainability and reliability, has already been obtained for the construction of both data centers. “AzInTelecom” has also obtained the initial “LEED” Report required for the international “LEED v4” certificate, which determines the environmental sustainability of the infrastructure for these data centers.
A detailed plan has been developed to minimize soil erosion and water pollution during construction. In addition, preventing dust and chemical impacts and indirect air pollution during construction is also a priority. Solar panels will be installed in the data centers to ensure the use of solar energy, which will indirectly help minimize carbon emissions.
Having joined the UN Global Compact in 2024, AzInTelecom has set itself the goal of aligning its activities with the principles of environmental management, providing broader support for the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the ecosystem. The company aims to maintain a balance between technological development and environmental responsibility.
AzInTelecom LLC is the largest cloud provider in Azerbaijan and the first organization in the South Caucasus to receive the TIER 3 certificate. The company currently provides cloud services to more than 200 government agencies and private companies.
