Rostelecom Proposes 'Day of Judgment' Data Center
Rostelecom has proposed creating a 'Day of Judgment' data center to restore services after attacks. In Russia, it is necessary to create backup data centers (DCs) that will allow for the quick restoration of digital services in case of accidents and attacks on infrastructure.
Consensus
- Rostelecom's deputy chairman, Valeriy Yermakov, called for the creation of a 'Day of Judgment' data center.
- The proposed data center would serve as a backup site for restoring digital services after major incidents.
- Yermakov stated that backup systems are now a real necessity due to rapidly changing threat models.
- The need for such infrastructure arises from recent drone attacks on data centers in Russia.
- Companies are shifting from centralized to distributed architectures to improve resilience.
- The concept of a 'Day of Judgment' data center is symbolic, referring to a resilient backup infrastructure.
