Rostelecom talks with Norilsk Nickel about creating underground data centers Rostelecom is negotiating with Norilsk Nickel about creating an underground data center. The project includes the use of several mechanisms to protect information and computing infrastructure. The company is considering a three-stage security system. It will be based on backup sites, distribution of digital resources between remote objects and the deep location of data centers. The first mechanism includes storing backup copies of information on a separate website. It is necessary to restore data in case of damage to the main infrastructures. The second level is related to distributed architecture: computing power and services will be located in several geographically dispersed points. This approach will avoid complete dependence on one object. The third element is the construction of underground data centers, which should provide additional physical protection in the most severe threat scenarios. According to the top manager of Rostelecom, it is the combination of these solutions that will create facilities with an increased level of security.
