At the end of February 2021, it became known that Huawei had agreed with Sitronix to localize the production of its server equipment. The Russian company will begin deliveries of such equipment, assembled by order of a Chinese partner, in May.
As Denis Dubinin, business development manager of IT solutions at Huawei Enterprise, told Kommersant, the servers produced by Sitronix will be based on Intel processors, and in the future it is expected to adapt Russian software to build storage systems based on this equipment. According to Dubinin, as part of this project, Huawei will supply Citronics with components of an elementary base, as well as share experience and conduct training for specialists.
Ivan Pokrovsky, Executive Director of the Association of Russian Electric Developers and Manufacturers, says that judging by the announced deadlines, Sitronics will be engaged in large-node server assembly. Investments in such a project can be measured in tens of millions of rubles, he said.
Huawei hopes that in the future, a partnership with Sitronix will allow the Chinese company to enter the register of domestic equipment. In addition, Huawei expects to become an exclusive supplier of server products for MTS. It is noted that for this purpose, cooperation between Huawei and Sitronix is being implemented on the terms of AFK Sistema, which controls both Sitronix and MTS.
Svetlana Legostaeva, general director of the Consortium Computing Technology Consortium, reminded the publication that by April 2021, one of the main conditions for assigning the status of a localized product is the manufacturer's rights to design and technological documentation, as well as a full set of software.
According to Legostaeva, it is not yet clear whether the Huawei project will be able to meet these requirements, but according to a newspaper source close to Huawei, the company is considering transferring development rights to a Russian partner as part of a localization project.[1]
