Wordpress.Com was Down for 110 minutes
By Dipankar Das, Gaea News NetworkThursday, February 18, 2010
Wordpress.com faced the worst downtime ie. 110 minutes in the last four years. It affected 10.2 million blogs and 5.5 million pageviews are lost. It looks like there was an unscheduled change to a core router by one of their datacenter providers and the change screwed up their network and the site got broken. Simultaneously, it breaks the failover mechasnism between WP location at San Antonio and Chicago. The company further says that although, they could not serve the data, but the data is safe and secure. Wordpress is trying to figure out what exactly happened so that in future, they can isolate the problem and the fault at one location will not affect the other location.

A Laptop Battery provides a source of electrical energy that supplies needed power to your laptop. The laptop battery uses a combination of cells that are electrochemically active, which is to say, they naturally transmit electrons from one end of the laptop battery to the other, when those two ends are connected in a circuit. A laptop computer battery can be engineered to be highly portable, like a watch battery, or it can be built to withstand extremes in operating conditions, like a car battery. |

even though they might be doing some upgrades or migrations but they should be providing alternative services to ensure no downtime…. this is terrible! |

Wow. This is a huge point. From a risk management standpoint this is something that should be handled from the standpoint of “ok..we know that this or that event could happen. Now let’s think of even worse scenarios [with equal or greater impact] that could happen and build controls so that the system [Wordpress in this case] is not impacted” |
