United Airlines, NYSE Outages Reveal Poor Redundancy Architecture, Insufficient Testing
2015-07-09 17:26:09| Airlines - Topix.net
A string of high-profile outages Wednesday morning that grounded United Airlines flights and halted trading at the New York Stock Exchange made clear that major institutions are failing to properly implement high-availability systems, according to one solution provider with expertise in mission-critical infrastructure. Matt Gerber, CEO of Digital Fortress, a cloud services and data center operator based in Seattle, told CRN that for those failures to have occurred, the systems must have had shortcomings in built-in redundancy, fault tolerance and instantaneous failover capabilities, and they likely were not properly tested.
