amounted to 165.6 billion rubles (according to the analytical agency iKS-Consulting). At the same time, a significant driver in 2023-2024 was the demand for infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI). First of all, the rental of servers with graphics accelerators (GPU), which are used to build neural networks and create generative AI models, has increased. In addition, as noted by iKS-Consulting, the market shares of cloud providers Cloud.ru and Yandex Cloud have significantly increased.
was noted by Vladimir australia telegram Lebedev, Director of Business Development at M1Cloud: "In 2024, there will be an increase in investments in cloud technologies, especially in the field of AI as a service and the development of multi-cloud systems. Cloud providers are beginning to integrate solutions based on artificial intelligence and big data, offering customers new opportunities for analyzing and processing information, which helps improve productivity and information security."
Vladimir Lebedev also drew attention to the emergence of new supply chains: "In 2024, service providers continued to search for and build long-term partnerships with new suppliers of server equipment and data storage systems from major foreign vendors, using the parallel import model. This allowed maintaining the pace of infrastructure expansion for cloud capacities. In addition, large providers built cloud segments based on domestic software and equipment. On the other hand, the increasing complexity of equipment supply chains affected the growth in demand not only for cloud solutions, but also for Bare Metal services, which are largely used by businesses as an alternative to physical equipment. According to M1Cloud, more than 50% of Russian companies use cloud solutions in the IT landscape, and about 30% plan to supplement it with BareMetal services."
Positive Technologies experts outlined the focus of cloud services on information security. In particular, they noted the focus on effective cybersecurity. This concept is based on the prioritization of company assets and threats in order to protect the most important nodes and prevent events that cause the greatest damage. The widespread construction of effective cybersecurity is feasible provided that a platform approach is used and synchronization with the changing technological landscape in Russia and friendly countries.
