United Airlines, NYSE Outages Reveal Poor Redundancy Architecture, Insufficient Testing
2015-07-09 17:26:09| Airlines - Topix.net

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.

United Airlines' flight delays have small impact on Hawaii
2015-07-09 13:14:27| Airlines - Topix.net
United Airlines issued a nationwide ground stop Wednesday , halting domestic flights for nearly 90 minutes after what the airline described as a network connectivity issue, but the ensuing delays were expected to have a minor impact on Hawaii flights. The Federal Aviation Administration issued an advisory for the ground stop at 8 a.m. Eastern time - or 2 a.m. Hawaii time - which was lifted at 9:45 a.m. "I think we benefited from the time difference, and we didn't have too many flights scheduled for overnight," Sakahara said.
