The Ministry of Digital Development is helping Yandex to find additional sites after data center attacks

The company continues to rebuild and migrate its remaining systems to third-party sites

Moscow, October 14. /TASS/. The Digital Development Ministry helped Yandex secure additional sites to relocate key systems after attacks on its data centers, Digital Development Minister Maksut Shadayev told RBC.

The Minister of Digital Development assisted Yandex in securing additional sites for the relocation of key systems. Despite the unprecedented onslaught on data centers, the company managed to quickly move operations of key systems to pre-prepared backup facilities.

He noted that distributing infrastructure geographically helps reduce reliance on large individual facilities and maintain service availability even in the event of severe damage. The company continues to rebuild and migrate its remaining systems to third-party sites.

Yandex's press service told RBC that the company has spent years building distributed infrastructure and backup capacity at independent sites, without disclosing details about their location.

On October 11, Yandex completely halted operations at its Vladimir data center following a drone attack. On October 9, part of the infrastructure of the company's data center in Kaluga was also damaged in a drone attack, and several modules were completely disabled. A fire broke out at the Yandex data center in Sasovo, Ryazan region, following a drone strike that damaged part of the infrastructure.
