Construction has begun in Almaty on the largest data center, Freedom Cloud

Construction of the Freedom Cloud data center has begun at the Alatau Information Technologies Park in Almaty. The project will be implemented in two phases, with total investments amounting to approximately 175 billion tenge. This will become the largest data center being built in Almaty.

The creation of a data center is a step toward developing the country's digital economy, where high-quality infrastructure is as important as transportation, engineering, or logistics. Modern services — from government platforms to marketplaces and media services — require a reliable technological foundation that must be located within the country.

Placing data storage infrastructure in Kazakhstan will ensure security, technological independence, and the development of domestic IT competencies.

Freedom Cloud already collaborates with global technology companies, including Nvidia, Intel, and AWS, strengthening Kazakhstan's position as a promising IT player in the region.

The project has received support from the Ministry of Digital Development and the Almaty Akimat.
