The road to the clouds. How will coronavirus and long holidays affect the IT sector?

Many corporations both in the West and Russia change their work standards and transfer people to home, remote work in order to significantly reduce the risks of workers' losses. There was already a joke that Microsoft was time to release the Office program in the Home Office version.

Demand for all remote access funds has increased sharply - it means that they will actively develop. In China, and in other countries, even virtual parties are being held today. That is, the virtual world will be a good answer to the coronavirus. But the medal always has two sides. I quote the news feed: "Due to the transition of banking employees, the number of hacker attacks can grow to remote work."

There is a traditional backing office: data storage, basic technologies that process these data, computing power. But if earlier all this was right in the place of the client - its own servers and so on - then today everything goes into the "cloud". This is a global trend.

Why did he arise? Because very large companies - in the West, these are Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Oracle, in China - Alibaba, Huawei, and in Russia - Rostelecom, Yandex, Sberbank - they were forced to create huge computing power and power to store their data. For example, Sberbank had its own platform for two reasons: in order not to depend on external vendors and to protect itself not only on sanctions, but also in technological risks and risks of cybersecurity.

Sberbank spends a lot of money on protection from cyber attacks, no average company will never pull such costs in life. And the risks increase.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
