Data centers will be forced to turn off customers to "whitelists" at the state's request. Russian commercial data center operators (data centers) will be required to shut down existing customers if they cannot reserve 10% of capacity at the request of President Vladimir Putin. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Digital Resources Maksut Shadayev at a meeting with industry representatives on November 6, said three sources of "Vodovi". According to them, the reserves will be used for a "white list" of services allowed by the authorities. The operators will have to choose "no customer priority", which will have to be disposed of in the event of a lack of free capacity for the needs of the state. If the resources have already been leased, the firm recommends terminating the contract or warning the client that if necessary, he will have to leave the site within a day. According to a source in the industry association, the ministry proposes to consider the disconnection of the customer force. For non-compliance with the data center requirements, it can be withdrawn and transferred to temporary management. The basis will be a decree of Putin, which authorizes such measures if the owner does not ensure the security of critical infrastructures, threatens their work or the return of their function.
