Evaluation of Prospects for Creating data storage and Processing Centers in the russian arctic

Abstract

The article presents an assessment of the prospects for creating data storage and processing centers in the Russian Arctic. Despite the successful domestic and foreign practice and the obvious advantages of creating data centers in the Arctic zone, the implementation and further scaling of these projects is accompanied by a number of barriers. Based on the study of political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental and geographical aspects of the external environment that affect the creation of a data center in the Russian Arctic, a SWOT analysis matrix has been compiled. Recommendations are given on the creation of data centers in the region, taking into account its specifics.
