在乌克兰无人机袭击了位于AI超级计算机的受损设施后,与此同时,克里姆林宫要求数据中心所有者为紧急国家需求保留计算能力,甚至授权使用外国数据中心。
俄国军队近几个月来用无人机和导弹轰炸乌克兰城市,由俄罗斯科技巨头Yandex、国有银行Sberbank、社交媒体网站VKontakte和俄罗斯财政部经营的数据中心
根据俄罗斯报纸《Vedomosti》,现在国有电信公司Rostelcom拥有将一些俄罗斯数据中心转移到地下的可能性,工业出版物《数据中心动态》也指出,俄罗斯一位地区州长最近提议在露天煤矿内建立数据中心,同时将绿色公共公园作为伪装品。
普京也于11月2日签署法令,命令俄罗斯数据中心运营商在俄罗斯政府需要时,这可能表明克里姆林宫对俄罗斯云计算基础设施在与乌克兰战争期间的脆弱性日益关切。

Russian tech companies are scrambling to harden and hide their data centers underground after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged facilities housing AI supercomputers and disrupted cloud services for millions of Russian users. Meanwhile, the Kremlin is requiring data center owners to reserve computing capacity for emergency state needs and has even authorized possible use of foreign data centers.
These consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine come as the Russian military has bombarded Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles nearly night and day in recent months, along with specifically targeting Ukrainian data centers since late September. But Ukraine has retaliated with its own drone strikes on military and infrastructure targets across Russia, degrading or knocking out data centers operated by Russian tech giant Yandex, the state-owned bank Sberbank, social media site VKontakte, and the Russian Ministry of Finance.
Now, state-owned telecommunications company Rostelcom has raised the possibility of moving some Russian data centers underground in talks with the nickel and palladium mining company Norilsk, according to Russian newspaper Vedomosti. The industry publication Data Center Dynamics also pointed to a recent proposal by a Russian regional governor to build data centers within open-pit coal mines while planting green public parks above as camouflage.
On November 2, Putin also signed a decree ordering Russian data center operators to set aside 10 percent of available space and capacity in case the Russian government requires it, according to independent Russian news publication Meduza. That may indicate growing Kremlin concerns about the vulnerability of Russian cloud computing infrastructure during its war with Ukraine.
