In the afternoon today a wide range of services Google It has been half an hour of serious difficulties, being completely inaccessible to users who intended to use it: no Gmail, no YouTube, interrupted lessons in Classroom, inaccessible files in Google Drive and more. After 5 hours from the restoration of services, here is the official explanation of what happened.
Google down, here are the official reasons for failure
The reasons for the ruling are provided by a spokesperson for the group:
Today at 3:47 am PT [12:47 ora italiana] Google encountered a disruption in the authentication system for approximately 45 minutes, due to an internal problem with the storage quota. Services that require users to log in experienced a high error rate during that period. The problem with the authentication system was fixed at 4:32 am PT [13:32 ora italiana]. All services are now restored. We apologize to everyone who has been affected and will conduct a thorough review to ensure this issue does not recur in the future.
The problem has disrupted not only the activities of the “consumer”, but also the operations of those who use Google’s payment services through G Suite. Google’s explanation, at least, clears any doubt about the origin of the flaw: not a cyberattack, but simply an internal dysfunction that we will now investigate to ensure that problems of this magnitude cannot occur in the future.
In the past we do not remember such a thunderous crash of Mountain View servers: although breakdowns can be brief and in the order of things for any online service, much more worrying was the fall of almost all Google services all to the time. . The reaction on social networks multiplied the echo of what was happening, but fortunately the situation recovered in 45 minutes.
