A Russian company, Rostelecom, has proposed creating a backup 'doomsday data center' to store data copies and quickly restore services after outages, according to Valery Ermakov, deputy head of Rostelecom, speaking at an RBC Tech forum. Ermakov stated that the threat landscape is rapidly changing, making such a facility a real necessity.

Ermakov described the proposed facility as a 'doomsday data center,' emphasizing that while it might have seemed unimaginable previously, it is now a genuine requirement for service providers to quickly recover from disruptions. He noted that the current 'threat and disruption model' is evolving rapidly, turning yesterday's impossibilities into today's realities that demand immediate responses.
