Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 8:26 am
During his speech at the Infotech-2022 forum, the Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of Russia Maksut Shadayev announced an adjustment to digital transformation programs in the direction of expanding the practice of using platform solutions that have already proven themselves well. The main reason, as the relevant minister emphasized, was the high rate of growth in prices for physical equipment, primarily server guatemala cell phone number list equipment - up to 50%, while there are also serious problems with its availability.

When implementing regional projects in the field of digital transformation, platform solutions will be used more actively. This is necessary to reduce costs. This was stated by the Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev. The minister also emphasized that the platform approach will reduce the need for physical IT equipment, especially server equipment.
It should be noted that at the moment, equipment prices could have increased even more. For example, at the 15th conference for developers of high-load systems HighLoad++ 2022, which was held in May of this year, a fourfold increase in prices for server equipment was discussed. The increase in prices for data center services did not exceed 25%. According to estimates by the Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, it is the reduction in the supply of equipment and components for its assembly that will lead to a general decline in the entire Russian IT market by 10%.

Sanctions Gambit
By the end of 2022, a decrease in the volume of the Russian IT market should be expected, but not more than 10%, due to the restructuring of demand for IT services and the composition of players. This forecast is given by experts from the National Research University Higher School of Economics. So far, by the beginning of the second quarter, sanctions restrictions have only partially affected the performance of the Russian ICT sector. The IT industry turned out to be in the black, but problems with the purchase of equipment and components had an impact. Large and medium-sized enterprises in the ICT sector sold goods, performed work, and provided services worth 1.3 trillion rubles. This is an increase of almost 25% year-on-year.
The commercial sector appreciated the convenience of using cloud technologies even earlier. Thus, Yuri Misnik, Director of Digital Technologies of the Magnit retail chain, said in his speech at the HighLoad++ 2022 conference that the retailer, despite the changed conditions, continued to rely on the maximum use of cloud services and the refusal to build its own data centers. Only in this way, according to Yuri Misnik, can the necessary flexibility be achieved. The adjustment is that Russian companies will be involved as service providers, among which MTS, Yandex, and Selectel were mentioned.
