Fujitsu is stepping in to support Ukraine’s infrastructure reconstruction by providing four micro data centers (MDCs) to two major local operators under a demonstration project backed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The initiative, part of JICA’s ‘Project to Promote Private Sector Participation in Ukraine’s Reconstruction,’ began in May and aims to strengthen Ukraine’s digital and energy backbone that’s been severely damaged by war.
The MDCs will go to a local telecom provider and a power infrastructure operator by fiscal 2025. For the telecom firm, the units will serve as geographically redundant backup systems, while the power operator will use them for substation monitoring. The project also includes training for local teams on MDC operation and maintenance, along with research into the market viability of compact data centers for long-term business development.
Ukraine’s IT and communication networks have taken heavy hits from both physical destruction and cyberattacks. Decentralized and resilient IT setups have now become a national priority. Fujitsu’s compact MDCs, small high-performance units with built-in power, cooling, and server systems, offer flexibility, quick deployment, and remote operation even in unstable conditions.

Two types of systems will be deployed: the DX Edge Pro for telecom backup and the DX Edge Hut for substation monitoring. The latter will be tested outdoors to verify its resilience against harsh weather and dust. Based on the outcomes, Fujitsu plans to refine its MDC business model from 2026 onward, expanding its technology footprint and helping rebuild Ukraine’s digital and energy infrastructure from the ground up.
