Readiness of the ICT infrastructure of Russian companies to use remote work technologies

[relemedf5w023]

In terms of network connections, the basic infrastructure of most Russian companies, according to Andrey Zerenkov, was ready for the transition to remote work schemes. However, with software for teamwork, in his opinion, everything was much worse, since these applications were used minimally in the office mode. This provoked a sharp increase in the number of connections to cloud services, which led to an overload of the providers' capacities. However, many companies for the first time appreciated the capabilities of cloud services as an alternative or supplement to their own IT resources, which opens up prospects for providers of these services after the end of the pandemic.

"Of course, no one was prepared for such a growth in cyprus whatsapp data requests for expanding the remote access architecture and improving security. Unfortunately, as in the old Russian proverb about the pecking rooster - everyone woke up at the last moment, and many did not have ready-made hardware that had passed all the bureaucratic and customs procedures. As a result, businesses were forced to transfer some of their employees to Open Source solutions, since they did not have enough capacity, licenses, channels and other resources for corporate solutions," said Danila Egorov.

According to Michael Kader, a distinguished systems engineer at Cisco, customers do not complain about insufficient Internet connection speeds, although many of those who implemented remote access systems used the so-called edge tunneling technology. In his opinion, this means that a request or exchange of information with the corporate network is carried out inside the VPN tunnel, and direct interaction with the Internet is bypassed by this tunnel, which significantly reduces the load on the Internet channels at the company's headquarters.
