PS Cloud Services

Data Centers

We host equipment in 7 fault-tolerant data centers in Almaty, Astana, and Tashkent. All data centers are certified according to the PCI DSS 4.0.1 information security standard for storing and processing payment card data. The data centers in Almaty are connected by an optical ring with a throughput of 100 Gbit/s.

How do we ensure fault tolerance of data centers?

Fault tolerance is maintaining the operability of a system after the failure of its components. The virtually uninterrupted operation of servers in PS Cloud Services data centers is a result of our many years of experience and an integrated engineering approach. Our specialists, who design and support engineering systems for the data center network, are certified by UpTime Institute under the Accredited Tier Designer and Accredited Operations Specialist programs.

UpTime Institute is an authoritative international certification institute that has developed standards for the design and operation of data centers, as well as their classification by reliability levels (I-IV Tier). We adhere to the standards and best practices of the UpTime Institute and strive to ensure that each data center in our network is identical to the reference model described below. Today, we provide a 99.8% availability rate for services in all data centers.

We have managed to achive it through redundancy of all critical systems according to N+1 or 2N schemes, the use of proven equipment, well-established infrastructure management processes and strict regulations of the 24-hour duty service.

Redundant power supply system

Server racks are connected to two independent power inputs. In case of voltage surges and power outages, we operate a UPS and a diesel generator. The UPS and diesel generator are redundant according to the N+1 scheme, and each generator has an eight-hour fuel reserve and additional suply if necessary. This way, we guarantee power supply to the rack even in case of prolonged failures on the city power grid.
Maintenance: regular monitoring of the UPS, power supply and air conditioning systems in the data center, scheduled testing and maintenance of the diesel generator.

Redundant air conditioning system

We use precision air conditioners. They maintain precise temperature and humidity values. Isolated aisles for hot and cold air contribute to more efficient cooling of servers. The climate control system is redundant, which eliminates overheating of servers in the event of failure of any equipment component.
Maintenance: daily inspection and monitoring of events, scheduled checks and maintenance, regular replacement of consumables.

Network infrastructure

To improve network connectivity and fault-tolerant network operation, we are connected to all major telecom providers in Almaty. We are a neutral platform, so customers can freely organize inter-operator connections.

The network of data centers in Almaty has direct connections to telecom operators such as Transtelecom, TNS-Plus, Vista Technology and TOIT KazGov-IX. There are peering connections to Kazakhtelecom, Alma-TV, Jusan, OBIT, Smartnet, IntelSoft (10G), STS, NLS Kazakhstan. Connection to telecom providers is carried out through redundant operator-class border routers. The network core of each data center is built on a pair of switches united by stacking technology.

The network of data centers in Almaty is united by an optical ring with a bandwidth of 100 Gbit/s. We are also connected to KazGov-IX internet exchange through two independent fiber-optic routes. Thus, we made access to both the Internet and Kaznet fault-tolerant.

Information and physical security

We pay special attention to information security issues. Our company has been audited and confirmed its compliance with the ST RK ISO / IEC 27001-2023, ISO / IEC 27001: 2013 and PCI DSS 4.0.1 information security standards. The ISO/IEC 27001 standard describes the best global practices in the field of information security management. The PCI DSS standard describes a comprehensive approach to ensuring the information security of payment card data.

We carefully comply with the PCI DSS requirements for the physical security of data centers. The buildings in which the data centers are located are guarded around the clock; in the event of an emergency, employees of private security companies and the police are involved. Access to the data centers is strictly regulated: employees and visitors undergo mandatory authorization and identification.

At the entrance to the premises, there is an access control system with two-factor authentication - biometrics and a key card. The data center premises are under round-the-clock surveillance, including by the PS Security Operation Center team.
