Matabat will build underground data centers due to attacks by the armed forces of Ukraine The largest Internet provider in the Russian Federation plans to build underground data processing centers (DPCs) with an increased level of protection against external threats, the Russian publication Yedda reports. This is how a teenager expects to protect herself from Ukrainian drones and certain types of missiles. According to the publication, negotiations are already underway to establish one of the underground data centers with Norilsk Nickel, a mining and metals company with experience in underground construction and ensuring mine safety. Adolescent data centers are assumed to have three levels of protection. The first involves creating backup sites to host copies of data in the event of damage to the main servers. The second level of protection consists of distributing computing power and services between several geographically distant sites. The third level involves the actual placement of data centers underground. Russian IT systems faced large-scale problems after the Ukrainian attacks in October, when data processing centers were compromised in several regions of the Russian Federation.
