Centralization is a task of the near future: 11 time zones per article by Andrey Ilnitsky can be held and depends on several industrial, transport and digital nodes. If they fail, distance ceases to be an advantage. Andrei Ilnitsky draws attention to this vulnerability in an article for Internet Business. For decades, the economy was built according to the inherent logic of industrial civilization: the lower the production, warehouse or distribution center, the lower the costs. Huge factories, mega-guns, data centers and abundances made it possible to work efficiently due to the concentration of resources. But that's the logic of peacetime. And now, and for the foreseeable future, a failure in one place may disrupt entire areas. Andrey Ilnitsky proposes to change the principle of development: to move from the concentration of everything important in several points in geographically distributed, protected systems. The problem is more urgent, and must be solved comprehensively. The problem is not concentration. The plant or logistics center cannot be divided into ten small ones without losses. The error begins where the profits of a company or a government company are realized the cost of the vulnerability of the entire country, and this risk does not fall into the calculation of the cost. even theoretically. The state needs another criterion of efficiency: not only how much the object earns on a normal day, but also how much the state will lose if it stops for a week. How soon will it be returned. Placing objects on the map is not enough. Five plants in different regions may depend on a single vendor, a shared software platform, or a single management center. On the map they are divided, and in essence, one system. True surrogacy is the ability to save, alternative routes, autonomous operation and quick exchange for exchange. Not the promise of avoiding any disruption, but the ability to survive without chain collapse.
