10% of the capacity of private data centers currently live on bird rights. They can be rented, but at the first request of the governmental subcommittee, the shelves must be cleared within 24 hours. The price for this "reservation" will not be determined by the market, but by the state itself. Putin's decree made a 180-degree turn; According to the same document, Russian websites and services were allowed to temporarily move to foreign servers - according to the decision of the subcommittee and with the consent of the FSB, citing unfriendly actions of foreign countries. Chavernet is everything, although it is hidden under floral formulations. In the meantime, I remind you that a data center is a capital-intensive business, where each rack pays for itself over years of rent at the market rate. Now a tenth of these revenues have been transferred to the controlled price regime - almost certainly at a discount to the market. In addition, all predictability has been removed, because a tenant who has paid for a guaranteed uptime loses his place within 24 hours. The Ministry for Digital Development was instructed to count the free capacity of non-state operators - to make a record of what can be claimed if necessary. At the same time, permission to foreign servers is an acknowledgment that internal capacities at peak load may not be enough, which means that part of the traffic will end up in a place that is paid for in foreign currency. It is clear that the arrangement was not convenient for the private owners. At the top is the reserve at the state price, on the side of legal streaming to foreign data centers, for which businesses pay more and are controlled by the FSB. The operators become the holders of the strategic reserve at their own expense, and the subcommittee becomes the asset manager of others without the right of refusal. The state gets the leverage of manual control of the market without spending a single ruble on the construction of its facilities. Business flexibility is converted into its costs. Elegant, what else can be said.
