Datapro Review 2026. Is datapro.ru good or bad on providing Data Center services?

📄 Editorial Review

(3*) 🔧 Services: Data Center
DataPro is a large, carrier-neutral data center operator in Russia, focused on enterprise-grade colocation and cloud infrastructure rather than classic shared web hosting. The company has been active since around 2013 and has grown into one of the larger colocation players in the Russian market, with roughly 6,500+ racks in operation, expansion potential above 25,000 rack spaces and more than 100 MW of available and planned IT power across its campuses. The company opened its first data center in Tver, followed by the launch of its Moscow I facility in late 2014 and a new data center in Khimki (Moscow II) in early 2020

Instead of selling small hosting accounts or simple VPS plans, DataPro concentrates on rack-level, cage-level and full data-hall colocation, complemented by cloud services delivered together with partner platforms. Customers can place anything from a few units of equipment up to full rows, secure cages or entire machine rooms. Colocation is structured in several tiers: standard rack rental for individual cabinets, separate secure perimeters (cages) for environments with higher physical-security requirements, and machine-room rental for enterprises that want their own "in-house" data center built inside DataPro’s shell.

The core infrastructure is concentrated around several modern facilities in and around Moscow:

• DataPro I (Aviamotornaya) – about 2,000 racks installed with a projected capacity of roughly 4,000, around 20,000 m² of technical space, more than 20 MW of IT power, EcoBreeze-based modular cooling, dynamic diesel-rotary UPS systems and 24/7 security with hundreds of CCTV cameras.
• DataPro II (Khimki / MKAD) – built to Tier IV standards with around 1,600 racks, about 11 MW of IT power, N+1 cooling and 2N power redundancy for cooling, plus a strong telecom ecosystem.
• DataPro III and IV (Ryabinovaya) – an expanded campus with Tier IV halls and projected capacities of roughly 4,000 and 1,000 racks respectively, providing up to 30 MW of IT power in DataPro III and 9 MW in DataPro IV.

All sites are designed as carrier-neutral facilities, giving access to dozens of telecom operators per location, diverse fiber entries and central distribution frames for cross-connects. This makes the platform particularly attractive to ISPs, cloud providers, content platforms and large enterprises that need redundant, low-latency connectivity.

For customers who do not want to own hardware, DataPro also offers cloud services. Rather than building everything purely in-house, the company integrates established Russian cloud platforms into its data centers, providing virtual infrastructure and managed services that can be provisioned quickly while still benefitting from the physical resilience, security and connectivity of the DataPro facilities.

Beyond the technical halls, the campuses include office and storage rental for customer staff, so operations teams can work on-site close to their racks, and telecommunications services that tie installations into the wider internet and corporate networks. With strict physical security, long-term investment and an enterprise-class service model, the platform clearly targets banks, telecom operators, large online services, industrial companies and public-sector workloads, not small hobby projects.

💰 Price & Cost

Pricing at DataPro follows a custom, quote-driven model. There are no public price lists for racks, power or cages. Prospective customers are expected to reach out via phone or online forms to discuss requirements and obtain an individual offer.

This is typical for a large colocation operator focused on enterprise and wholesale deals. Final cost depends on many factors:

• Number of racks or size of cage / machine room
• Required power density per rack
• Redundancy level and Tier target
• Telecom mix and cross-connect volume
• Contract length and additional services (office space, storage, remote hands, etc.)

Because of this enterprise focus, there is no visible money-back guarantee, and no consumer-style refund policy. Contracts are handled as long-term infrastructure agreements, not as one-click monthly subscriptions. Payment methods, currencies and billing cycles are agreed directly with the sales team or account manager.

For smaller customers who need transparent monthly pricing per shared hosting account or VPS, DataPro is usually reached indirectly via hosting providers and cloud operators that colocate their own servers in these facilities and then sell retail services on top.

🏢 Data Center

From an infrastructure standpoint, DataPro operates some of the most advanced Tier III and Tier IV data centers in the Russian market.
DataPro I (Moscow I) is certified to Tier III standards and uses a combination of EcoBreeze modular cooling, precision air-conditioning, dynamic UPS systems and redundant substation equipment from well-known vendors to deliver more than 20 MW of IT power. Power is engineered with multi-path redundancy, and cooling is built with several independent circuits so maintenance can be carried out without shutting down customer equipment.

DataPro II, III and IV are built to Tier IV design and facility levels, taking resilience further with N+1 cooling, 2N power redundancy for cooling, multiple independent power feeds and highly redundant switchgear. DataPro III alone provides around 30 MW of IT power and thousands of rack spaces, while DataPro IV adds roughly 9 MW and up to 1,000 racks to the Ryabinovaya campus.
Across all facilities, security and environmental systems are designed for high-risk workloads:

• 24/7/365 on-site security
• Extensive CCTV coverage with hundreds of cameras per site
• PACS access control, mantraps and secure entrance sluices
• Very-early smoke detection (VESDA)
• Automatic gaseous fire suppression above and below raised floors

Connectivity is a major strength. The facilities are fully carrier-neutral, with around 20–30 telecom operators present per site. There are multiple independent optical entry points and several main distribution frames for cross-connects. DataPro also runs its own autonomous system and BGP network, so tenants can build complex multi-carrier topologies, peer with other networks and set up low-latency interconnections.

In terms of availability, the combination of Tier III and Tier IV design, strong power redundancy and redundant cooling is aimed at very high uptime — realistically in the high "three-nines and above" range at the infrastructure level when systems are used as intended. The facilities are also wholly owned by DataPro, which reduces landlord risk and allows deep, long-term planning for upgrades and expansions.

The web presence is available in Russian, English and Chinese, reflecting the fact that while all infrastructure is in Russia, the company serves both domestic and foreign organizations that need local capacity with international-grade engineering.

DataPro significantly expanded its focus on the Chinese market after partnering with China Mobile International to host hundreds of server racks in their Moscow facilities.

✍️ Customer Support

Customer interaction at DataPro follows a classic enterprise data-center model rather than a retail hosting helpdesk.
The company provides central phone numbers for sales and operations, along with dedicated email addresses for technical support and general information. Communication is formal and oriented toward IT departments, network engineers and project managers rather than individual website owners.

Inside the facilities, engineers are on site 24/7/365 and monitor all critical systems from centralized control rooms. They handle routine checks, incident response, and remote-hands services such as power-cycling equipment, checking cabling or swapping components under customer instructions. Separate security staff control access, monitor CCTV feeds and enforce entry procedures.

For large tenants, this combination of on-site engineers, office space and a carrier-neutral environment makes it possible to run complex operations from the same campus, with very low latency between people and systems. There is no public mention of chat widgets, ticket systems for small users or knowledge bases about CMS platforms, which fits the focus on infrastructure owners and operators.

🔨 Control Panel

Because DataPro is a colocation and infrastructure provider, there is no shared hosting control panel such as cPanel or Plesk offered as part of its core services.
Customers either:

• Bring their own physical servers and install them in racks or cages, or
• Rent space and power for pre-installed hardware and appliances.

All operating systems, virtualization platforms and application-level control panels are chosen and managed by the customer. DataPro’s responsibility is at the facility layer: power, cooling, connectivity, security and physical access.

Enterprise customers may have access to internal portals or structured processes for access requests, incident notifications, reporting and invoicing, but these are not positioned as retail hosting panels. Organizations that need web-level management interfaces usually deploy them on their own infrastructure or purchase them from service providers operating inside DataPro facilities.

🎯 Conclusion

DataPro stands out as one of the more serious colocation platforms in Russia for organizations that care about physical security, Tier III / Tier IV resilience and strong carrier neutrality. Multiple owned facilities in and around Moscow, high-density power capabilities, redundant cooling and a large ecosystem of telecom operators make the platform well suited to banks, telecoms, major online services, industrial groups and public-sector projects that must keep data inside Russia while relying on modern data center standards.

It is important to underline that DataPro is not a consumer web host. There are no shared hosting plans, no one-click WordPress installs, no standard price lists and no money-back guarantees. Everything runs through custom contracts and infrastructure-level SLAs, and customers are expected to have their own IT teams or trusted partners that understand rack-level operations.

For the right profile — medium and large organizations with clear capacity needs and in-house technical expertise — the mix of scale, engineering depth and neutrality makes DataPro a very strong candidate. Smaller customers are typically better served by hosting providers and cloud platforms that already operate inside DataPro’s data centers and expose this infrastructure through retail-friendly plans.
