Russia Integrates Domestic Operating System With IT Asset Management Platform
A systems integrator has expanded its portfolio by combining a Russian-made OS with a tool for tracking and managing IT assets.
Federal systems integrator Ametist, which has been operating on the Russian market since 1991, has signed a partnership agreement with software developer Inferit, part of the SF Tech cluster within the Softline group. According to the companies, the cooperation is aimed at strengthening independent IT infrastructure for Russian businesses across multiple sectors of the economy.
A “Sphere” of Security
The MSV Sfera operating system is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and is designed for use on servers and workstations. It is included in Russia’s official register of domestic software and holds certification from the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control, confirming compliance with security requirements and allowing its use by both government and commercial organizations.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an enterprise-grade Linux distribution widely used on servers worldwide. It is known for its stability and long-term support, which is why Russian developers often build their own operating systems on top of it, adapting them to local security requirements.
Inferit ITMen, meanwhile, is a platform for inventory, accounting, and control of IT assets. It automates the collection of data on hardware and software within an organization, helps track licenses, and supports overall optimization of IT infrastructure costs.
The collaboration between the two major players reflects a broader trend in Russia’s IT market, as companies seek to reduce or eliminate dependence on foreign technologies by developing domestic platforms that meet security standards and regulatory requirements.
