RTK-CODThe full-cycle IT service provider has begun independent commercial testing of IT solutions based on its own R&D laboratory. The pilot customer is the Russian company Multillect, a joint venture of Azimut Holding (part of the Rostec Group) and T1 IT Holding. Its flagship product – the fifth-generation MLT-S powerful general-purpose server – will undergo full-cycle testing based on methods developed by RTK-DPC Laboratories.
The test consists of five phases. The first phase of testing will be functional testing. It will check the correct implementation of each server function as declared by the manufacturer, including the operation of the BMC remote management controller and other subsystems.
The second part of the test is a load test, during which specialized utilities are used to evaluate device performance. As part of the same field, a stress test was also conducted – all computing resources were run continuously at 100% load for 48 hours to assess stability.
The third phase of testing will be fault-tolerance testing, simulating the failure of a single equipment component. During the test, record whether the server maintains stable and correct operation under downgraded configurations.
The fourth phase is to test the compatibility of the server with the hardware trusted boot module. This test will confirm the possibility of the device being used safely in an environment with higher information security requirements.
In the final stage, laboratory engineers will check the server’s compatibility with Basis Dynamix Enterprise, Russia’s largest virtualization platform.

Based on the results of all tests, Multillect will receive detailed reports on the completion of each test with specific metrics.
In addition, Multillect uses hosting services to conduct its own testing as part of its contract with RTK-DPC. The secure virtualization platform Basis Workplace is deployed on the laboratory’s MLT-S, and Multilect experts remotely test its operation on the server.
«RTK-DPC’s R&D laboratory has accumulated rich experience and deep expertise in testing IT solutions for the internal needs of group companies. The combination of our own testing methods and comprehensive laboratory infrastructure enables us to provide the market with objective evaluations of IT products. We see interest in independent testing and plan to develop this area. The lab’s first commercial customer is Multillect, an ambitious Russian manufacturer that isn’t afraid to test its equipment in real, extremely harsh conditions in independent labs.“said Alexey Zabrodin, Technical Director of RTK-DPC.
«Independent testing ensures our hardware is ready to handle critical tasks, from data processing and storage to AI-driven workloads. The RTK-DPC laboratory provides us with the opportunity to test equipment under conditions as close as possible to industrial operation. This form of collaboration gives us access to customers from the public sector and strategic industries with proven features and guaranteed reliability“, points out Albert Khusnutdinov, General Manager of JSC Multillect.
R&D Laboratory«RTK-COD“Operating since 2020, its infrastructure today consists of 35 racks in two data centers in Moscow. The department uses its own procedures and methods (PMP) for full-cycle testing of servers, storage systems, network equipment, virtualization platforms, backup systems, information security solutions and software. The R&D laboratory is headed by Alexander Vlasov, Head of the New Solutions R&D Department of RTK-DPC.
The 2U general purpose server MLT-S is Multillect’s flagship solution. The device is designed to handle critical data processing and storage tasks, as well as perform operations using artificial intelligence. The server meets the technical and quality requirements set by critical information infrastructure for such equipment. MLT-S supports a variety of Russian operating systems and is compatible with major virtualization systems. The server is included in the Russian Unified Register of Radio-Electronic Products (REP Register) approved by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade.
