Russia to Launch Its First Industrial Computer Powered by Elbrus Chip
Homegrown hardware and software promise maximum cybersecurity for critical infrastructure systems.
Russia is preparing to release its first line of industrial computers built on the domestic Elbrus 2C3 processor, developed through a partnership between Inferit OS, a Russian operating system developer, and the EDELWEISS design center. The new machines will be used in automated control systems and at critical infrastructure facilities across the country.
Built for the Toughest Environments
The system is engineered for maximum reliability, data protection, and resilience under harsh industrial conditions. To achieve this, Inferit OS is creating a dedicated version of its MSVSfera operating system, which runs on a Linux-based kernel and is already used in computers powered by Russia’s Baikal-M processors.
The collaboration between domestic hardware and software developers marks a milestone in Russia’s pursuit of digital sovereignty. The unified approach is designed to provide a uniquely secure and stable solution for mission-critical environments.
The launch highlights Russia’s broader push to build fully homegrown IT ecosystems, reducing reliance on foreign technology while strengthening cybersecurity and operational autonomy in vital industries.
