12/10/2011 @ 10:14:02: Internet - RIM: Les explications de la panne de BlackBerry
RIM vient d'adresser une explication sur la panne géante qui a touché l'Europe ces derniers jours. La raison en quelques mots? Un système de backup qui n'a pas fonctionné comme prévu.
Voici l'intégralité de l'explication en anglais:
Blackberry Outage Update
The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were caused by a core switch failure within RIM’s infrastructure. Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested.
As a result, a large backlog of data was generated, and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we will continue to keep you informed.
Regards,
Pour préciser, quand ils parlent de backup il s'agit d'un switch de secours, et pas d'un serveur de sauvegarde
