Prices for Data Hosting and Rack Rental Services in Commercial Data Centers Increased by 2%

Moscow and St. Petersburg are still the main locations of the data center, but we are seeing an increase in demand in other regions, "said the representative of 3data, whose words are quoted by the newspaper.

Rostelecom DPC believes that the demand for data placement and rack rental services in commercial data centers in 2024 will continue to outstrip supply: consumers either finally refuse to independently build their data centers or postpone it.

It will be more difficult for companies to compete in the efficiency of infrastructure ownership with large data center operators because of their cost, "warned the company's technical director Alexei Zabrodin (quoted by Kommersant).

At the same time, the general director of Uralenergotel Alexei Belsky (the company is building data centers to order), on the contrary, believes that customers who need data centers are aimed more at creating their own IT infrastructure, and not at using external data centers.

These are large costs, but at the same time the potential for demand for 10-15 years is laid, he believes. We are talking about industrial enterprises, banks, technology companies, etc.[2]
