Data center operators required to reserve 10% of capacity for the state Private data centers must reserve 10% of their space and computing power for government use by November 12. The corresponding decree was signed by Vladimir Putin. The operator will be obliged to provide reserved resources within 24 hours after the decision is made. Market participants warn that in Moscow and other large cities, commercial data centers are already almost 100% full. Operators will have to leave some capacity idle and absorb losses, or accommodate commercial customers at risk of shutdown within 24 hours. Industry representatives also fear that government rental prices may be lower than market prices. At the same time, it is possible to find the necessary 10% reserves on a national scale, but in the capital regions it will be much more difficult.
