"Rostelecom" has migrated its virtual server infrastructure to the Basis Dynamix platform, the flagship product of the IT developer "Basis." From the perspective of the quality of solutions provided, the "Basis" ecosystem corresponds to leading global counterparts in the field of infrastructure services.

The migration process from the foreign VMware platform began in 2023 with the corporate center and seven macro-regional branches of "Rostelecom" across the country with more than 120,000 employees. To date, the migration of over 15,000 virtual servers of target information systems has been completed.

Basis Dynamix is included in the register of domestic software and meets state requirements in terms of reliability and security. The transition to the platform allows "Rostelecom" to scale and optimize its IT infrastructure. At the same time, load balancing and automatic resource reallocation mechanisms increase the efficiency of equipment use and management of computing resources and data storage.

The platform has built-in encryption, authentication, and access control mechanisms, and is also certified to the fourth level of trust for compliance with FSTEC requirements for virtualization tools. Basis Dynamix supports an API for integration with external systems and services.

For a successful migration to Basis Dynamix, "Rostelecom" uses a set of software tools from MIND Software, one of "Basis's" technology partners. In the context of a complex, geographically distributed infrastructure, automation of the procedure has made it possible to achieve a high migration rate - up to 300 virtual servers per week.

Thanks to the use of MIND Software tools, "Rostelecom" has the opportunity not only to migrate to a domestic platform once, but also to continuously redistribute virtual workloads within one or more virtualization clusters.

Kirill Peschaniy, Vice President, Director of IT Operation and Infrastructure at "Rostelecom": "The process of migrating to the Basis Dynamix platform with minimal downtime is critical for most information systems. The simultaneous migration of a large number of virtual machines required automated tools, thanks to which the entire migration project is supported by a team of only ten infrastructure engineers from our side and from the side of our technological partners. Manually, this process would have required significantly more time and employees, and would have been much more complex in planning and organization."

David Martirosov, CEO of "Basis": "Basis" had the opportunity to consider import substitution from both the vendor's and the customer's side, which allowed us to develop an optimal transition strategy and completely eliminate compatibility issues. The transition of "Rostelecom's" huge infrastructure with thousands of active services and millions of clients can rightly be considered a major challenge, which has become a successful case."
