What market are we talking about
Dynamic IT infrastructure management software (DIM software) is a software layer that turns servers, networks, and storage into flexible resources: they can be allocated, reallocated, and decommissioned on demand. This includes server virtualization, virtual desktops, software-defined networks, container platforms, and cloud platforms.
Glossary
Server virtualization is running multiple independent virtual machines on a single physical server.
VDI stands for virtual desktops: an employee’s workspace is hosted in a data center rather than on their computer.
SDN stands for software-defined networking: network settings are managed centrally via software rather than on each individual device.
Observability is the end-to-end analysis of the state of infrastructure and applications to identify the root causes of failures.
How much the market is worth today
In 2025, the entire Russian dynamic IT infrastructure management software market, including foreign products, reached 43.7 billion rubles. Domestic solutions accounted for 30.4 billion rubles—approximately 70% (calculated based on study data). Around half of this amount, 15.1 billion rubles, represents the combined segment of server virtualization, VDI, and terminal access.
Basis’s positions
Basis accounted for about 21% of the total revenue generated by Russian DIM software developers, taking first place among domestic vendors. In the server virtualization, VDI, and terminal access segment, the company’s share is even higher at 28%. In this area, it is represented by the Basis Dynamix and Basis Workplace platforms.
What the analysts specifically highlighted
Software-defined networks. In the SDN section, the study highlights Basis SDN as a key standalone Russian product of this class. It served as the basis for a functional comparison with VMware NSX / VCF Networking. The product is deployed within the customer’s infrastructure without reliance on an external cloud, providing microsegmentation—dividing the network into isolated zones—and network security policy management.
Observability. The observability segment received a dedicated analysis in the study for the first time. Among the solutions reviewed, analysts highlighted Proto Observability and classified it as Full-stack Observability—platforms that analyze infrastructure and applications together. Basis previously acquired 70% of Proto. According to the company, this acquisition reduced the time needed to introduce observability solutions into its ecosystem by a year and a half compared to developing them from scratch.
Where the market is heading
The primary takeaway from iKS-Consulting is that competition is shifting from standalone products toward comprehensive platforms. Customers increasingly prioritize product interoperability and overall infrastructure operational quality over the isolated specifications of an individual solution.
According to analysts’ projections, the total DIM software market—combining domestic and foreign solutions—could grow from 43.7 billion rubles in 2025 to 120.5 billion rubles by 2031.
What this means for customers
• The selection process is becoming platform-focused. When acquiring a single product, it is essential to consider beforehand how it integrates with the rest of the infrastructure—both current and future.
• Russian solutions already form the core of the market. They account for roughly 70% of sales, providing ample options to choose from.
• Networks and observability are stepping out of virtualization’s shadow. Analysts have begun treating them as standalone areas, meaning market offerings in these categories will continue to grow.
Important considerations
Market shares are calculated based on the revenue of Russian developers, rather than the entire market including foreign solutions.
The 2031 estimate is a forecast: it depends on the rate of import substitution and broader economic conditions.
