Current situation on the cloud market in Russia
Russian providers are gradually strengthening their positions in the field of cloud computing. Today, the use of the cloud approach is constantly expanding. Numerous enterprises and government agencies are starting to move from traditional IT structures to cloud services, which creates a need for high-quality cloud platforms that meet legal requirements.


Vendor support. Western solutions are still widely used in providing cloud services, which carries significant risks. Without installing updates (or downloading updates from non-vendor sources), vulnerabilities are guaranteed to appear over the next few years, which can lead to serious information security incidents or incidents of inoperability. Using, for example, open source software is not a solution to this problem for two reasons: it does not exclude the possibility of intentional oman mobile database and carries licensing risks, since most often an open license prohibits the use of such software for commercial purposes.
Scaling based on Russian solutions. Reorientation to Russian manufacturers is a complex and lengthy process that requires significant investment from cloud providers, who are forced to find a balance between the competitiveness of their services and the need to replace Western products.
Fighting cybercrime. Over the past few years, malicious activity from abroad to hack into Russian companies' IT systems has increased several times. Cloud providers are at the forefront here, as they serve thousands of corporate clients. This requires significant efforts from any cloud provider, as well as constant improvement of security tools.
Import substitution: features, difficulties and prospects
Today, the Russian cloud market is developing a trend of import substitution. Many companies are trying to replace imported cloud solutions with domestic analogues, which contributes to the development of the Russian cloud technology industry.

It is important to note here that import substitution in the cloud services sector, especially in terms of equipment, is proceeding more slowly than in on-premise infrastructure. Large investments that cloud providers have made in Western technologies imply a certain payback period and will be in operation for several more years. At the same time, today, when choosing platforms and solutions for scaling the cloud, providers primarily focus on the competitiveness of the purchased solutions, and so far, for example, Chinese equipment is often cheaper than Russian. Nevertheless, many providers are looking to the future and creating cloud segments on completely Russian solutions, focusing on the needs of customers who are increasingly inclined to use domestic technologies.
