Microsoft's departure or emergency migration to Russian services?

In the light of the 12th EU sanctions package and Microsoft and Amazon's decision to suspend access to their corporate cloud services from March 20, along with the invalidation of keys for some boxed products in Russia, ICL Services is aiding companies in a swift* transition to Russian solutions without any business downtime

While Microsoft is considering whether to move the suspension of access to cloud services in Russia closer to the end of the month, businesses can leverage this potential delay to lessen the risks associated with the incoming restrictions. To avoid total or partial data loss, ICL Services experts recommend:

— backing up all data stored with Microsoft, Amazon, and Google cloud products.

— determining data priority levels, as network capabilities for sharing data might be restricted.

— starting to set up an alternative infrastructure. For this purpose, Russian market leaders are ready to offer more than 60 infrastructure (IaaS) and platform (PaaS) services, which will make the migration a fully fledged process rather than a mere compromise.

Thanks to expert support from ICl Services, you will be able to make an emergency migration (within a few days or more, depending on the product) to solutions from Russian vendors (VK Tech, MoiOffice, Kolibri-ARM, Yandex, RuPost, Cloud.ru, etc.) without business downtime.
