History

2023: One and a half times server growth

Hosting-provider RUVDS has increased the number servers in its assets by one and a half times since 2021. The company's fleet of equipment has reached its maximum volumes for its entire existence. The company announced this on December 21, 2023.

Purchasing equipment and expanding the list of current servers is an integral part of our development strategy. Of course, supply interruptions, the need to find new vendors and general turbulence in the market in 2022 made their own adjustments, but did not affect the overall plan. Now I can say with confidence that we have not only "grown" one and a half times in terms of quantity, but also modernized more than a quarter of the equipment, "said Nikita Tsaplin, General Director of RUVDS .

The company's development strategy includes not only updating and increasing the fleet of equipment, but also developing new markets. Only in 2023, the company launched platforms with computing power Turkey in and, Kazakhstan and also began to provide VPS rental services on servers equipment located in. Vladivostok As of the end of 2023, RUVDS has 15 assets, data centers seven of which are outside. Russia

Agreement on the placement of a space server on board Soyuz-2.1a

The small spacecraft, which will house the experimental space server company RuVDS, will go into space in 2022 on the the Russian Soyuz-2.1a rocket. The corresponding agreement was signed between the companies "" and Orbital Express the launch operator of Glavkosmos Launch Services JSC (GK Launch). This was announced on July 21, 2021 by RuVDS.

2019: Experiment planned to deploy internet with high-altitude probe

On April 12, 2019, on Cosmonautics Day, cloud solutions operator RuVDS will conduct an experiment to deploy the Internet using a high-altitude probe or stratostat. RuVDS announced this on April 3, 2019. A balloon equipped with a server, an on-board computer, a screen, a video camera, communications and a GPS beacon will be launched to an altitude of 30 kilometers. During the flight, the stratostat will distribute the Internet, shoot and transmit video and telemetry data to the ground. Everyone will be able to observe the experiment online and take part in the competition, the main prize of which will be a trip to Baikonur. The purpose of the experiment is to test the fundamental possibility of deploying the Internet using high-altitude probes in hard-to-reach areas.

The probe starts from the vicinity of Pereyaslavl-Zalessky and will spend at an altitude of about 1.5 hours, after which it will return to the ground. Throughout the flight, to check communication with the "server in the clouds" from the project page, it will be possible to send text messages that will be transmitted to the on-board computer using the HTTP protocol using three independent satellite communication systems (Iridium, GlobalStar and Messenger) and displayed on the screen installed on the probe.

In turn, the screen with messages and part of the horizon will be shot by the camera on board the device. Video filming and messages received will be broadcast over the radio channel back to the ground. Thus, observers will be able to monitor the movement of the "server in the clouds."

The map of the project on the site will display the flight schedule of the stratostat with marks about receiving each message, thanks to which the organizers of the experiment will be able to calculate the percentage of lost information "on the route."

The quality of video transmission from a high-altitude probe to the ground will be directly affected by the weather. In clear skies, broadcasting, as a rule, is carried out without interference throughout the flight - up to 70-100 km from the launch point. In cloudy conditions, the transmission range can decrease to 20 km. In any case, the full version of the stratostat's video footage will be published after its return. The space data center is planned to be found within a radius of 150 km from the launch site by the signal of the onboard GPS beacon.

If the experiment is successfully completed, RuVDS will continue to explore the topic of distributing the Internet using stratostats. As global practice shows, and in particular, the Google Project Loon, the "high-altitude probe + server" bundle is capable of providing access to the global network for people in remote settlements, on sea vessels, on tourist and reconnaissance expeditions, on regular aircraft, as well as in disaster zones in conditions of destroyed ground infrastructure. In the future, the launch of a whole series of stratostats will allow organizing an air network with which it will be possible to transmit information many thousands of kilometers.

Nikita Tsaplin, Managing Partner of RuVDS:

Obviously, the vast territory of Russia cannot be covered by land infrastructure alone. It's expensive to use space. After all, launching one probe will cost 100 times cheaper than launching a satellite into orbit, which, moreover, cannot be returned, repaired or updated equipment. We decided to turn to the successful experience of Google and try to implement it in Russia.

2016

As of August 2016, among the company's partners are financial institutions: Finam JSC, BCS Company, a number of commercial banks and social projects, including Coworking 14 near Moscow, for whose clients RUVDS provided a private cloud.
