for Central Asia's
digital sovereignty.

Akashi is being built in Astana to give Central Asia's enterprises, governments, and AI teams a world-class foundation — operated to the same standards as Tier IV facilities in Frankfurt, Singapore, or Ashburn.

Our mission

Build the infrastructure the region's digital economy depends on.

Region-first

Kazakhstan sits on the East–West digital backbone with four independent optical entries. We build where the data wants to be.

Zero downtime, by design

Tier IV architecture eliminates single points of failure across power, cooling, and connectivity.

Standards-first engineering

Only certified solutions from global vendors. ESG and energy-efficiency baked into the core design.
