the SAP Representative said that if the previous three decisions, the company has transferred to the Russian data centers is primarily due to 242-FZ, the decision to deploy SAP IBP in the Russian data center arose from the needs of the clients to store data in Russia and the demand for this product among the Russian customers. “Many customers until the psychological moment wish that the data were not on the other side of the border,” – said Andrey Sharak.

We’ll rent from these companies premises,” – said the press service. Andrew Sharac for this reason added that all the company in Russia about 100 racks.
Speaking about the growing number of large foreign companies that store data of Russian clients, the first Deputy General Director of DataLine Alexey Sevastyanov notes that inquiries from foreign companies have. “But we do not see exponential growth. The proportion of such filings in the total flow of not more than 20%,” – said in trouble with a reporter ComNews representative DataLine.
as for the transfers, cloud solutions data centers in the Russian, Alexei Sevastyanov considers that while early to speak about any noticeable impact on the entire market, as this process has just started. “Of the major players while only SAP is taking active steps to migrate their cloud-based solutions power the Russian data centers”, – he said. At the same time, the adopted amendments to the law “On personal data” influenced the course of activity of the company, albeit marginally. In particular, said a representative DataLine, there were informational queries from foreign companies, but major changes on the market did not happen. “Largely this is due to the fact that the business is still a wait and does not undertake yet active actions,” he said.
Increased demand from foreign companies is observed, the company “KROK” (ZAO “CROC incorporated”). As noted in an interview with a reporter ComNews head of the virtual data center of the company “KROK” Maxim Berezin, the increase in demand from overseas customers for data center services “KROK” is especially noticeable in the last 1.5 years. “Foreign companies make up half of all our cloud customers, placing in the data center business applications that use personal data of Russian citizens, in full accordance with the law”, – said Maxim Berezin. Among the major foreign companies that store data Russians in the “Crock”, a company representative cited the example of a project for rapid migration to the cloud “CROC” platform for digital marketing it company Teradata. “Due to the localization of the Russian clients of the company had the opportunity to use a cloud solution in accordance wi th the requirements of the law and flexibly scale it to their advantage without having to buy additional server equipment,” he said. In addition, added Maxim Berezin, this year DataLine implemented a number of projects on the transfer of personal data to the world’s largest automaker, several international FMCG companies and retail chains.
the company believes that the migration to cloud solutions to overseas customers in a network of data-centers “KROK” has provided the increase in the consumption of cloud services by more than 50%. “Customers strive to meet the regulator’s requirements in terms of storage and processing of personal data, placing your computing resources in a secure data center in Russia,” said Maxim Berezin, adding that the trend will continue in 2017 and the growth in demand for services in Russian data centers continues. “We expect to increase the consumption of our cloud services,” he said.
In a conversation with a reporter ComNews representative DataLine stressed that the amendments to the Federal law “On personal data” also had an impact on the company’s operations, providing an influx of new customers from industries that are traditionally associated with the processing of personal data: online-retail and FMCG market.
according to J’son & Partners Сonsulting note that on the outcome of the 2016 in the part of the growth of the market of commercial data centers in Russia, to speak while early.
“We are seeing mixed trends not only in regard to the implementation of new projects, but also in the structure of providing cloud services. Of course, the appearance on the Russian market of large foreign providers of cloud services as a whole contributes to the quality of service of data centers located on the territory of our country”, – consider in the company. However, J’son & Partners Сonsulting identified a number of trends which are cause for serious concern. “The economic crisis in the short term contributes to the increasing interest in public cloud (transfer CAPEX to OPEX); however, the decline in business activity leads to a reduction in the number of transactions, which in turn reduces the need for it solutions. In addition, the budgets of the customers in most cases remained unchanged or even decreased. More than a quarter of new agreements for provision of cloud services in 2016 one way or another were connected with the transfer o f infrastructure from abroad”, – told analysts ComNews.
Experts believe that to say that a large number of foreign providers seriously interested in investing in the Russian area, now is not necessary. In addition to this, the segment is under threat of monopolization and the emergence of “hooblah” on the background of the bankruptcy of many independent providers.
as for the prospects for 2017, speak to J’son & Partners Сonsulting, according to published announcements, before the end of next year in Russia should be commissioned power new data center with a total area of over 100 thousand square meters, and the growth of user cost of one only public IaaS will reach nearly 40% in rouble terms. On the other hand, a considerable contribution to the growth of the market provides customers from the public sector, which, in fact, bypass the restrictions on foreign purchases of software and hardware, addressing cloud providers that use these solutions. “So, to say that market growth is due to increasing it maturity or becoming “industry 4.0″ hardly necessary”, – concluded J’son & Partners.
