Ukrainian data centers are massively moving infrastructure abroad due to Russian attacks, - economic truth.
According to the publication, during the last four months, the Russian armed forces were able to attack about 15 data centers in Ukraine, some of which stopped working. Between the blows, companies began to transfer servers and data to the western regions of the country and beyond.
According to market participants, Kyiv's data centers are rapidly depleting: some have lost up to two-thirds of their customers' equipment, and some sites are almost completely empty. At the same time, the western regions do not have enough free capacity to accommodate them all.
Cloud services move the fastest: data and their IT systems can be moved without physically moving servers. According to GigaCloud, if in the past about 20% of the company's capacity was located outside Ukraine, by the end of the year this ratio may change to 50 to 50. The trend is expected to continue in 2027.
Moving equipment abroad is slower: for this it is necessary to find free sites, move servers and re-establish their operation. Companies also face a lack of space for even a few dozen server cabinets in Ukrainian data centers, the material says.
