Russian companies began reserving capacity in foreign data centers after drone attacks on Russian data centers.
Russian companies have seen a significant increase in demand for foreign capacity in data processing centers (DPCs) after major data centers in the country came under drone attacks in October. Yevgeny Svidersky, vice president of cloud services at ITGlobal.com, told Kommersant about it. According to him, businesses are also interested in sites in Kazakhstan. A number of local companies have already begun the migration process, two additional sources confirmed.
One of the reasons for this was cited by market participants as "data center accidents", which are no longer a hypothetical risk. "Companies are rethinking their approach to business continuity organization and are looking for a backup site that is independent of the main data center's network and energy infrastructure," noted Swiderski. In October, the targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were the data centers of Yandex, VK, Sberbank and the Federal Tax Service. A number of important centers in six regions in the European part of Russia were attacked: in the regions of Vladimir, Kaluga, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan and Saratov.
