After the invasion attempt against Ukraine, Russia was subjected to major sanctions by different countries and companies. Large companies have decided to withdraw from the Russian market or temporarily cease their activities. Among these companies were companies with activities in the field of data storage. The allegations in recent reports suggest that after these companies’ withdrawal from Russia, there is now a serious data storage crisis at the door of the country.
RUSSIA’S AREA WILL FINISH AFTER TWO MONTHS
According to the news of Gizchina, Russia has about two months to run out of its current storage space.
On the other hand, in the news based on Russia-based Kommersant, it was stated that after western cloud storage companies broke their ties with Russia, domestic businesses had to turn to Russian cloud storage solutions.
LOOKING FOR SOLUTION
It was stated that there are not enough data centers in Russia at the moment to accommodate the operators, so the government is urgently working to find a practical solution to the problem.
It is also said that Russia may turn to China as a solution to this possible crisis.
