CDEK has successfully transferred about 95% of its services from Novosibirsk to Moscow. This was not just a relocation of servers, but a complex migration of approximately 400 interconnected systems over 3000 km in real time.
A company representative noted that the main challenge was the possible signal delays that could negatively affect the service. The key stage of the transfer was completed in just 24 hours on the first day of 2026, which allowed customers not to notice the changes.
As part of the transfer, 1.17 petabytes of data were deployed, which is about 90% of the total volume in the company. Another approximately 0.4 PB of information is expected to be transferred. Since the beginning of the year, 238 units of equipment have been installed, including 83 servers and 86 data storage systems.
To ensure high data transfer rates, CDEK used two dedicated communication channels between Moscow and Novosibirsk. The company's logistics specialists organized the transportation of 300 TB of data on physical media by air, which was a decisive factor in the successful transfer of the most voluminous information.
The large-scale transfer of data centers has become a unique event for Russia. The reasons lie not only in technical aspects, but also in operational factors. With the transition to the Moscow infrastructure, CDEK will be able to increase the speed of applications and the level of security, which, in turn, will lead to an increase in the number of customers.
