The German company SAP has decided to sell Russia scarce equipment

One of the buyers can be the largest Russian Rostelecom Internet service provider, whose infrastructure has been severely affected by sanctions. The well-known German company SAP has decided to sell computing equipment in Russia from its date centers. The Russian site "Kommersant" became known from the sources in the market of cloud services.

SAP provides enterprise resource management systems, the company is one of the largest players in the world market in the field, and in the Russian Federation occupies a share of about 60%. After the invasion of Ukraine, she curtained her work in the Russian Federation, although she continued to support her clients, and in June she stated that she would completely leave the aggressor country.

Judging by the words of the sources, SAP will really leave the market of Russia, but at first it will provide Russian enterprises with equipment, which they now need very much because of sanctions restrictions. Going from the Russian Federation, the company plans to sell 3. 5 thousand units of equipment installed in its data centers: servers, switches, storage systems. According to the media, the carrying amount of equipment is € 50 million or 3 billion rubles, and the market is estimated at 1.

4 billion rubles. One source states that the largest Russian digital service provider and the Internet of Rostelecom became interested in devices. It is worth noting that Rostelecom and SAP associate ancient partnerships. In 2014, the Russian provider gave the German company its infrastructure in Moscow to create the first data center for cloud services, and in 2016 they concluded a contract for the promotion of cloud decisions.

Now "Rostelecom" is very needed computational equipment, because in June it has frozen the development of CDO in the regions of the Russian Federation due to equipment shortages. The President of the Association of the participants of the CDD Igor Dorofeev believes that SAP will be able to find the buyer for his equipment in Russia, but if he offers a good discount. According to him, it is not about ready -made solutions, but about a set of equipment that you still need to arrange.

In addition, the service life of the COD devices is usually about five years, and it is unknown how much they have worked on the SAP. ZLAX President Sergei Sukhman suggests that Rostelecom could really be interested in equipment, seeking to "close holes in infrastructure" as soon as possible. Otherwise, SAP equipment will faster attract the resale of supported equipment. Earlier, they wrote that there were major problems in the purchase of IT equipment.
