SDN Development Concept

At the launch of the first in Russia data center network Stack Group presumed that powerful IT-industry is the basis for successful economic development of Russia: the maturity level of IT-industry is determined by the quality of IT-infrastructure, IT-services and overall penetration of IT into business. An ideal situation is when business, the principal aspect of national security, gets IT-services at the right time and place

Based on the above-said, we determine fundamental principles which are at the heart of concept for design and development of Stack Data Network (SDN) sites: 

• Neutrality in relation to all carriers and telecommunications service providers available in Russia
• Combination of operational reliability, quality of service, integrity of services offered 
• Uniform standards applicable to all SDN sites. Flexible approach towards standards accepted at the external sites of the customers 
• Implementation of the latest and the most advanced technologies providing for optimum balance of reliability, variability, complexity, flexibility, as well as maximum efficiency in terms of boosting success and competitiveness of customers` business
• All technical and technological solutions adopted in SDN should conform to the unified system of standards accepted in SDN, comply with Russian law, provide for ease of maintenance, scalability and minimum TCO during forecast operating period of the sites
• Long-term relationships with customers and delivery of a full range of IT-services are taken into account at the strategic planning of each new stage of data center network development 
• All directions related to utilization of SDN resources are developed on a wholistic basis – under an integrated programme

Well-considered implementation of these principles has allowed Stack Group to remain the permanent leader among data center service providers since 2004 and offer solutions opening revolutionary opportunities for the development of Russian IT-industry and economy

The following factors represent opportunities for Stack Group`s future development:

•  increase in efficiency and reliability of its own data centers based on new technologies; 
• new services and solutions – development of services aimed at “cloud computing” and other innovative approaches and tools;
• new generation of Russian specialists who can match business requirements and IT-resources on reasonable grounds
