IT-companies impose sanctions against Russia.

Microsoft and other IT-company attached to the anti-Russian sanctions.

Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec, Hewlett-Packard and several other American IT-companies, scaling down cooperation with the US sanctions came under Russian partners. As a result, Russian banks could lose critical to their work software. Perhaps the output will have to look into the establishment of a similar domestic software.

As the publication of the executive secretary of the Russian State Duma committee on strategic information systems Andrew Montenegro, overseas IT-companies do join the sanctions against some domestic banks or their structures.

In view of the ongoing re-emerges the question of depending on proprietary solutions, which are becoming a critical point of failure in a situation of political instability. Go vital structures on the open operating system and software in such a situation could give impetus to the development of independent decisions. However, what the outcome of the introduction of Linux and development of a national OS, everyone remembers. A more painful sanctions are represented in the supply of equipment and servers for large Russian companies. It remains an open question of financial responsibility of the contractual partner to the Russian partners. Will it offset the early termination of contracts?
