The Ministry of Digital Development approved recommendations for the protection of Russian data centers (DPCs) from drone attacks. The document (available from Kommersant) provides for physical protection of facilities, data backup and interaction between operators and law enforcement authorities. Data centers will be divided into three categories according to their level of importance. For strategic objects, an underground location or a bunker is recommended, for existing ones - strengthening buildings and reducing visibility from the air. Critical services are encouraged to be maintained, and operators are encouraged to interact with the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Russian National Guard. According to market participants, the implementation of measures may increase the cost of a provider's services by about 10% without taking inflation into account. Networks are changing.
