Ukrainian data centers are fleeing to the West: they have no more space in their homeland.
Targeted attacks by the Russian armed forces on data processing centers are forcing the Ukrainian IT sector to massively relocate infrastructure from Kyiv to the west of the country and beyond. As UkroSMI writes, the migration of metropolitan data centers has already taken on an avalanche-like character.
Companies are increasing capacity in the European Union, in particular Microsoft and Google, and the share of foreign sites of some operators may reach 50% by the end of the year.
At the same time, all the experts interviewed in the publication point to the lack of a uniform plan for the development of the industry, even though the establishment and placement of data centers requires a long-term strategic approach.
