Why Akashi outperforms.
Technological superiority
While competitors rely on Tier III with a PUE of 1.2–1.6, Akashi delivers Tier III and Tier IV with optimized energy efficiency and maximum reliability.
Economies of scale
Competitive pricing: ~$1,956 per 10 kW/month with flexible scalability tailored to any business need.
Alignment with global trends
The market is moving to high-density 80–120 kW workloads with intelligent cooling. Akashi already implements liquid cooling and AI-driven management.
Strong unit economics
Each 10 kW rack generates over $20,000 in annual gross profit — sustainable returns and strong investor appeal.

How full is demand before launch?
The sales pipeline is 107% of DC-1 capacity — 5.54 MW reserved against the first building — before the May 2027 launch.
How does Akashi compare to other Kazakhstan data centers?
The published comparison puts Akashi at 4,224 racks versus Kaztelecom 1,552, Freedom 1,200, Transtelecom 851, and Kazteleport 233 — with Tier IV target availability of 99.995%.
What is the build roadmap through 2030?
Four DC buildings on 11 hectares, scaling toward 100 MW IT capacity. DC-1 is 5.2 MW (construction through 2027, then connection). Uptime TCDD (design documents) is listed; the TCCF constructed-facility audit is planned for April 2027. TCDD is not TCCF. Later buildings add 12 MW steps.
