Private data centers were required to keep 10% of their capacity in reserve and release it according to a government decision within 24 hours. This material (information) is produced and distributed by the bell's foreign agent or relates to the bell's foreign agent's activities. 18+ Owners of non-state data processing centers (DPCs) in Russia must reserve 10% of their space and capacity within 10 days, according to Vladimir Putin's decree published today. They can continue to use the reserve themselves. But if the new subcommittee under the government commission for digital development makes such a decision, they will be obliged to provide this reserve within 24 hours "to support the functioning of information resources" in Russia. The services will be paid, the price will be limited to the maximum rate, which will be determined by that subcommittee. The Ministry of Digital Development was instructed to take into account the free capacity of private data centers and to approve mandatory reliability requirements for information resource owners. The decree also allows temporary use of the capacity of data centers abroad for Russian information resources. The subcommittee will make such decisions in agreement with the FSB. The measures in the document are explained by "unfriendly actions of some foreign countries". Since October 8, Ukrainian drones have attacked three Yandex data centers, a Sberbank data center in Belkovo and a VK data center in the Leningrad region. In addition, the data center of the Federal Tax Service in Gorodets could have been compromised. As a result of the attacks, Yandex lost about 115 megawatts of capacity, although even before them the data center capacity shortage in the market was estimated at 150-200 megawatts, Kommersant wrote. That is, the reserve will have to be allocated in a market where there was not enough capacity even before the attacks. It also said that industry associations had already proposed allowing affected companies to temporarily host critical systems and backups in friendly countries, but this was prevented by personal data laws. This is not the first step taken against data centers after the attacks began.
