Wildberries Yekaterinburg AI Data Center

Wildberries is developing a significant artificial intelligence data center located at 12 Perspektivnaya Street in Yekaterinburg, Russia. This facility is specifically designed to handle the demanding requirements of AI model training and inference, differentiating itself from previous projects with a dedicated cooling system optimized for high heat dissipation typical of AI loads. The first phase of construction in Yekaterinburg will accommodate up to 20 high-load, training-optimized racks. The project emphasizes the company's strategy to enhance its own distributed computing infrastructure and data processing capabilities for AI. Construction is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2026, with all critical engineering systems designed for redundancy to ensure fault tolerance. This initiative is part of Wildberries' broader plan to expand its data center capacity, aiming for a total of 20 MW by 2027.
