A commercial power outage knocked out Intuit’s Internet service for service hours on Wednesday, July 14. I am probably missing something in the technical issues here, but I thought that backup systems at big companies were supposed to prevent things like this when commercial services are interrupted. Intuit had a more than 24-hour outage early in June when routine maintenance took down primary and secondary backup systems. If this keeps up, Intuit could do for cloud computing what the Hindenburg did for blimp travel. I think I figured it out—some guy in accounting keeps trying to plug in an element to boil water in a cup and it keeps knocking out the system and nobody can find the circuit breakers. |
