Warranty Denial: Apple Service Centers Refuse to Repair MacBooks

Using cloud technologies has become one of the most popular options for solving problems with the supply of physical equipment. Cloud service providers themselves use three approaches: they try to find alternative ways to purchase the usual equipment and spare parts for it, switch to using Russian equipment, or assemble servers themselves.

Sergey Zinkevich, Business Development Director at Krok Cloud Services, is a supporter of the first path. But he also acknowledges two problems. First of all, there is a significant, almost threefold slowdown in deliveries. If earlier, on average, it took about three weeks to deliver a batch of equipment, now it is no less than eight. There is also a high risk that the delivered systems will not meet the stated specifications. However, in his opinion, this circumstance entails fewer difficulties for a cloud service provider than for a corporate customer.

Director of Cloud peru mobile number database Products at #CloudMTS Mikhail Solovyov called the use of Russian equipment a more optimal strategy. An additional argument here, in addition to reducing delivery times, is that domestic manufacturers have mastered the production of systems in the UCP (Unified Compute Platform) form factor, which is optimized for the needs of data center operators and cloud service providers.

Head of the Department of Cloud Solutions and Cybersecurity Services Beeline Cloud Sergey Kondratyev also reminded that for many potential customers, starting in early 2025, the use of Russian equipment will become mandatory, as stipulated by the 166th and 250th presidential decrees. So the demand for its acquisition will grow.

Yandex.Cloud security product manager Rami Muleis said that the optimal strategy is to assemble servers independently. According to him, this approach allows for maximum flexibility and does not depend on the vendor. And delivery of components "in bulk" is much simpler from a technical point of view than assembled servers.

But overall, according to Oxygen IT Director Alexander Budkin, all the troubles of 2022, including the departure of foreign vendors, did not lead to catastrophic problems for Russian cloud operators. According to him, migration to Russian software creates more difficulties for customers. Moreover, the more users work in it, the more difficulties. For example, according to Alexander Budkin's observations, migration to a domestic set of office applications is almost guaranteed to paralyze the corporate technical support service for a month.

Mikhail Solovyov also named the segment of Russian client operating systems as potentially problematic. According to his estimates, it will take about a year and a half to eliminate pain points according to official plans for the development of the main operating systems. However, Russian virtualization systems, including those designed for the deployment of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), are quite functional.

However, according to Sergey Zinkevich, end users will simply not notice the migration to the Russian database management system. And in general, this procedure will affect no more than 10 people. However, the representative of "Krok" agreed that there are indeed many problems with mass softwar
