Rostelecom 6.5MW Capacity Colocation Data Center Facility In Moscow

Status: Operational   |   Location: Ulitsa Butlerova, 7, Moscow, 117485, Russia

Project Overview

M9 Data Centre (MMTC-9 / Moscow M9) is a major telecommunications interconnection and internet traffic hub located at Ulitsa Butlerova, 7 in Moscow, Russia, serving as an important node within the country’s digital communications and data center infrastructure. Operated by Rostelecom PJSC through MMTS-9 JSC, the facility has a long history in Moscow’s telecommunications ecosystem, having originally been established in 1978 before being modernized to support contemporary high-density colocation, network interconnection, and data transport requirements. M9 is closely associated with the Moscow Internet Exchange (MSK-IX), providing an important environment for carrier peering and the exchange of internet traffic between telecommunications operators, internet service providers, content networks, enterprises, and other digital platforms. The facility hosts points of presence for numerous domestic and international telecommunications networks, creating a dense interconnection environment that can help reduce network paths and improve connectivity between participating networks. Beyond internet exchange services, M9 supports carrier interconnection, enterprise hosting, telecommunications transport, and connectivity for cloud and other digital infrastructure services. Its strategic position on Ulitsa Butlerova places the facility within Moscow’s established telecommunications corridor, where it connects with surrounding fiber infrastructure and other data center facilities. The site is supported by approximately 6.5 MW of grid power, while reported chilled-water infrastructure provides around 4.2 MW of cooling capacity for technical environments. Redundant UPS systems provide additional protection for critical IT and networking equipment against interruptions in the primary electrical supply. The combination of extensive carrier connectivity, internet exchange infrastructure, resilient power systems, and cooling capacity makes M9 particularly relevant to network-intensive workloads and interconnection services. Its role within Moscow’s telecommunications ecosystem also makes it an important connectivity point for enterprises, carriers, cloud providers, content networks, and other organizations that depend on efficient access to Russia’s broader internet and communications infrastructure.
