In this regard, a large-scale analysis of the Russian market of cloud services for data processing centers is conducted in this study, financial indicators of the market are analyzed, revenue from Russian cloud services is estimated, growth rates, leaders in the provision of cloud services and their main consumers are determined. The main task when innovative technologies are introduced is the efficiency of the used information system. In this regard, a comparative cost analysis is performed in this article using traditional corporate data centers and cloud data centers. Based on an analysis of the main indicators characterizing the capacity utilization of cloud and traditional data processing centers and value indicators, a model is obtained that determines the possibility and necessity of using cloud data processing centers in comparison with traditional data centers for Russian companies.
