Russia unprepared for the data center war with Ukraine

Original: Russia was not ready for the data center war it started with Ukraine

Russia's digital infrastructure has proven vulnerable in its war with Ukraine, according to reporting by Ars Technica. Russian bloggers warn that the country's hyper-centralized digital economy, heavily dependent on a small number of large data centers, was not built to withstand the kind of drone strikes and infrastructure attacks the conflict has brought. The analysis suggests Moscow launched the conflict without accounting for the fragility of its own critical computing infrastructure.

Why now: Ongoing Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure are highlighting the fragility of Russia's concentrated data center network.
