Clouds in Russia: Private, Public and Hybrid — For Whom, Why and Why
Vasily Belov, Executive Director of ITGLOBAL.COM | 03/22/2024
The first cloud providers appeared in Russia about 15 years ago. During this time, we have come a long way. From visionary thinking and fighting the conservative view of building IT infrastructures to a mature market with sufficient and already understandable regulation (for example, the cloud of Federal Law 152 is no longer surprising).
Despite the fact that we hear about leaks due to vulnerabilities in local infrastructures almost every day, and infrastructures hosted by cloud providers are “hacked” much less often, you can still meet companies that need to be convinced of the security of the cloud as an approach to IT consumption, within the framework of which almost any technological solutions can be implemented, including information security measures in accordance with the customer's policies.
Global players in the cloud market have not norway mobile database Russia. MS Azure promoted its services in Russia, but never got to the point of opening its own sites in the country, Alibaba Cloud has advanced further than anyone else in data localization, but also has not reached the point of opening data centers in Russia. Cloud service consumption volumes are growing in our country quite quickly and steadily, but none of the "big four" have fully entered the Russian market. This has formed the uniqueness of our market in a way.
As the market developed, several Russian companies emerged that decided to replicate the AWS approach and become local scalers by investing in the development of a wide range of PaaS services.
Around 2016-2019 , the market reached a high level of maturity and began to expand, with significant investments in technological development.
Along with the growing intensity of technological restrictions, Russian cloud providers have been actively investing in import-independent technologies for a long time. Today, this process has reached its peak, and the market is moving towards technological independence by leaps and bounds.
Thus, the Russian cloud market is a unique, developed market, which is to a large extent a driver on the path to technological independence of IT and at the same time is growing rapidly, as it is the foundation for digitalization.
