S President Joe Biden announced new sanctions against Russia on Friday, which affect 500 individuals and legal entities. The restrictions also affected major Russian data center providers, Kommersant writes. The new sanctions list included Russia's largest data center operators, including Rostelecom-Data Center.
Previously, large-scale sanctions against this segment of the Russian IT market had not been introduced, and for many of its participants, this came as a surprise. Due to inclusion in the sanctions list, they may lose the opportunity to purchase Western server equipment and software licenses. A Kommersant source in the data center market expressed surprise at the inclusion of private data center providers not associated with the state in the sanctions list.

Sanctions were also imposed on another asset of the Aiteko Group — Aiteko Engineering. Sanctions also affected a number of other integrators and vendors: ICL (several legal entities at once), T1, Inferit (Softline Group), IT_ONE. Among the software developers that fell under US restrictions were NPO RusBITech (Astra Linux OS, etc.) and Red Soft (RED OS OS, etc.), the developer of information security tools, Security Code, as well as developers of CAD and engineering analysis systems.
Considering that the entire relevant business of Rostelecom-DC fell under the restrictions, then, as the leading consultant of iKS-Consulting Stanislav Mirin believes, "we can talk about 29% of the Russian cloud market by revenue and 46% of the colocation market by the number of racks." According to the study by iKS-Consulting, the data center industry in Russia did not reduce turnover in 2022, but increased the number of introduced rack spaces by 10.8% year-on-year to 58.3 thousand, and by the end of 2023, an increase of 20.9% is expected - to 70.1 thousand.
