Service disruption analysis
We are now finished with the analysis of the service disruption from last Wednesday.
The causes and its effects have all been identified and a number of improvements will be implemented to ensure an incident like this cannot repeat itself.
The papers written by our engineers are available if you would like to have more background information, or discuss our findings with your own IT department. Please let us know if you would like to receive a copy.
Kind regards, Leo Scheltinga CIO
Peoplexs completely available
The restore finished successfully just after midnight yesterday. Since then we have performed a quality control on the restored files and performed a final test of the application with positive results.
Peoplexs is thereby completely available again.
Later this week an in-depth analysis is expected on the causes including lessons-learned of what we will need to improve so that this cannot happen again. A summary of the findings will be published on the product management blog in the community: http://www.peoplexs.com/communities/en/blogs/product_management/
Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or if you would like to receive the in-depth analysis when it comes available and discuss the results.
Kind regards, Leo Scheltinga CIO
