Yandex said on October 26 that all three of its supercomputers had survived drone attacks on data centers without damage and had been moved to new computing facilities. The equipment is still being deployed, so its operations cannot yet be considered fully restored.
The company's press office provided the information to RBC.
The systems involved are Lyapunov, Chervonenkis and Galushkin, which are used to process large volumes of data, support Yandex services and train artificial intelligence models.
According to the company, all three supercomputers were preserved without damage.
Yandex also said that once the systems are deployed at their new facilities, they will continue to be used to train foundation language models.
A Forbes Russia source familiar with the company's operations said the three computing clusters can function independently and do not need to be housed at the same location.
In early October, Ukrainian drones struck Yandex data centers in Russia's Ryazan, Kaluga and Vladimir regions.
Among the affected facilities was a data center in Sasovo in the Ryazan region, where two of the company's computing systems were located.
The attacks disrupted some digital services and affected customers using the company's cloud infrastructure.
It had previously been unclear whether all the supercomputers had survived the strikes. The company's new statement clarifies the equipment's status but does not mean that the damaged infrastructure has been fully restored.
Yandex has not publicly disclosed the cost of relocating the systems or the precise timetable for returning all computing capacity to service.
