I just want to highlight that while the Microsoft outage linked to Crowdstrike caused disruption worldwide, China and Russia remained largely unaffected. If you were to ask the reasons: 🔹 China has a major player in the tech industry called 21Vianet 🔹 This company acts as the exclusive operator for Microsoft Azure and Office 365 services within China 🔹 They essentially run separate versions of these Microsoft products on their own infrastructure, keeping some Chinese data and operations independent 🔹 Many Chinese firms do not rely on CrowdStrike, reducing vulnerability to its software issues. 🔹 Due to sanctions and ongoing political tensions, Russia has been actively developing its own domestic technology sector. 🔹 CrowdStrike has not provided services since early 2022 to Russian entities. 🔹 Russia has been increasing its reliance on local software, with major banks planning to boost domestic software usage to 95%. What's the future of global tech dependencies?
