The Moscow Arbitration Court has approved a settlement agreement between creditors and a member of Katyusha IT LLC, the company that created the first Russian print servers based on the Baikal-M processor and the Edelweiss motherboard with secure software. The developer's debts reached 150 million rubles, but under the agreement, the company was forgiven almost 100 million rubles. Plans to bring the owner and management to subsidiary liability have been canceled. The project itself, as confirmed to CNews by the Katyusha Group, has been frozen indefinitely.
The print server on the Russian processor with ARM V8 architecture ran under Astra Linux "Novorossiysk" and used print management software "Monitoring and Protection" on its own kernel. The solution was positioned as a response to customer requests for import substitution and allowed managing the printing infrastructure of any scale, tracking the status of devices, controlling the consumption of materials and ensuring the security of documents.
The Katyusha Group explained that the supply of print servers has been suspended due to the limited availability of Baikal processors. At the same time, the frozen project itself has been transferred to the group's circuit, and the company continues to develop other areas: in 2026, it launched mass production of the first color MFPs and printers in Russia with system boards made of domestic textolite.
