At CIPR-2025, the Russian integrator DAO Tech signed a cooperation agreement with the Chinese Kuntu

On June 2, the first day of the “Digitalization of Industrial Russia” conference, a cooperation agreement was signed between Kuntu and DAO Tech. The ceremony took place at the DAO Tech booth and laid the foundations for a strategic partnership to facilitate the localization of high-performance computing equipment production in Russia.
The agreement between the parties provides for the creation and support of Russian-made computing equipment: 4th generation servers with support for up to 8 GPUs; dual-processor server platforms; data storage systems with intelligent software for capacity forecasting, diagnostics and energy management. DAO Tech will provide consulting support to the project, carry out technological scouting and build cooperation with domestic industrial partners necessary for the localization of equipment.
In addition, Kuntu and DAO Tech plan to test platforms based on Chinese chips in order to ensure technological stability and import independence. The cooperation will contribute to the development of local competencies in the production of IT equipment and the implementation of the goals of the national digital economy program.
In the future, the parties intend to deepen their partnership by expanding the pool of local manufacturers, investing in R&D and joint projects with industrial structures in Russia.
