The invasion of Ukraine drastically affected Russia's datacentre sector, which had previously been growing rapidly. The exodus of US tech companies due to Western sanctions has led to significant challenges, notably a shortage of compute capacity. Domestic providers have failed to meet the increased demand, resulting in estimates that 30,000 new racks are needed annually for the next five years. Additionally, the cost of establishing datacentres has surged, complicating efforts to fill the void left by foreign firms.
Oleg Kim, director of Axoft, states that the departure of foreign cloud providers has caused a critical shortage of compute capacity in Russia, highlighting the increasing demand for domestic datacentres.
According to Key Point, Russia's demand for datacentres is expected to require additional capacity of 30,000 racks built annually over the next five years.
