乌克兰无人机打击促使俄罗斯仓促规划地下数据中心
Ukraine’s drone strikes spur hasty Russian plans for underground data centers
乌克兰无人机打击损坏了俄罗斯境内承载 AI 超算的设施，并中断了数百万用户的云服务，俄罗斯科技公司正急于加固和隐藏数据中心。俄罗斯国有电信公司 Rostelcom 在与镍钯矿业公司 Norilsk 的谈判中提出将部分数据中心迁入地下的可能，另有地方官员提议在露天煤矿内建设数据中心并在上方种植公园作伪装。克里姆林宫同时要求数据中心所有者为国家紧急需求预留算力，并已授权可能使用境外数据中心。
Russian tech companies are scrambling to harden and hide their data centers underground after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged facilities housing AI supercomputers and disrupted cloud services for millions of Russian users. Meanwhile, the Kremlin is requiring data center owners to reserve computing capacity for emergency state needs and has even authorized possible use of foreign data centers.
These consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine come as the Russian military has bombarded Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles nearly night and day in recent months, along with specifically targeting Ukrainian data centers since late September. But Ukraine has retaliated with its own drone strikes on military and infrastructure targets across Russia, degrading or knocking out data centers operated by Russian tech giant Yandex, the state-owned bank Sberbank, social media site VKontakte, and the Russian Ministry of Finance.
Now, state-owned telecommunications company Rostelcom has raised the possibility of moving some Russian data centers underground in talks with the nickel and palladium mining company Norilsk, according to Russian newspaper Vedomosti. The industry publication Data Center Dynamics also pointed to a recent proposal by a Russian regional governor to build data centers within open-pit coal mines while planting green public parks above as camouflage.
