Data center owners may be required to disconnect non-priority clients to create a reserve for permit logging services. The shutdown will be considered force majeure and failure to meet the requirements will be grounds for the introduction of temporary management.
Such measures were recently discussed by market participants at a meeting in the Office of Digital Development to meet the requirements of the latest presidential order regarding the need to reserve 10% of the space and capacity of the data centers and provide them within 24 hours after a special subcommittee decision.
The Ministry of Digital Development told RBC that the steps to implement this order are still "under development". In the near future, a special sub-committee will be established to ensure the continuous functioning of facilities in the field of information and communication technology within the framework of the government committee for digital development.
"All requirements will be formulated together with experts and market participants," the ministry emphasized.
At the meeting we discussed who will be affected by the decree, what will be received in the 10% calculation, recommendations for changes in contracts with data centers. Details are in the RBC material.
