Putin orders private data centres to set aside 10% of capacity to support IT infrastructure
The decree lets authorities tap reserved computing power within 24 hours and sets capped payments for owners.
- On Nov 2, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree requiring non-state data centers to reserve 10% of their capacity to help keep Russian IT infrastructure running.
- Recent Ukrainian drone attacks targeting technology companies Yandex and Sberbank in October prompted the mandate to secure critical infrastructure against ongoing threats.
- A special government commission will be established to order the release of reserved capacity, with operators required to provide access within 24 hours of such a decision.
- The Digital Development Ministry must inventory available capacity and floor space at privately owned data centers across Russia, while the decree permits temporary use of foreign facilities subject to FSB security service approval.
- These measures enable Russian authorities to quickly access data center capacity if needed, establishing a centralized mechanism to maintain IT infrastructure continuity amid ongoing security threats.
