VTB has introduced the latest storage systems (DSS) from the Russian manufacturer Yadro to ensure the security and efficient operation of its services. This was announced on January 15, 2026 in a press release of the company by the deputy head of the technological block - VTB Senior Vice President Sergei Bezbogov. Previously, the bank used solutions from foreign companies Dell EMC and Hitachi.
