Broad incumbents

• HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise): Global server, storage, and networking vendor that Kraftway's products directly replace in Russian enterprise and government data centers. Important reference competitor for product positioning even though HPE no longer sells into Russia at scale.
• Lenovo: Global PC and server manufacturer with overlapping hardware categories (servers, storage, workstations, peripherals). In Russia, Lenovo historically competed in the same enterprise hardware market that Kraftway now targets via import substitution.

Direct peers

• DEPO Computers: Russian manufacturer of PCs, servers, and storage systems targeting government and enterprise customers. Overlaps Kraftway across client systems, servers, and import-substitution positioning.
• Aquarius: Russian IT hardware manufacturer producing PCs, servers, storage, and networking equipment with Russian-domestic certifications. Direct competitor in the same KII-registered trusted-IT procurement segment.
• Yadro: Largest Russian designer and manufacturer of servers, storage, and client systems. Competes head-to-head with Kraftway for the same import-substitution and KII-certified government and enterprise contracts, with a comparable full-stack portfolio.
• iRU: Russian PC and workstation brand distributed by MERLION, focused on domestic-market desktops, laptops, and small servers. Competes with Kraftway's client-systems and entry-level server lines for similar buyers.
• Eltex: Russian manufacturer of networking equipment (switches, routers, access points, network security appliances). Directly comparable to Kraftway's RUBEZH N1 network security platform and related networking hardware.
• Sitronics: Russian IT hardware and systems integrator producing servers, storage, and specialized computing platforms. Competes with Kraftway in domestic IT infrastructure and KII-eligible deployments.
• Fplus (F+ tech): Russian developer and manufacturer of server, storage, and IT infrastructure equipment. Targets the same domestic government and enterprise customers as Kraftway with overlapping product categories.

Emerging players

• Bitblaze: Russian server and storage vendor (now part of the Yadro group) focused on domestically developed ARM-based servers. Competes with Kraftway in the trusted-server category, particularly for non-x86 architectures.
