Storm Cloud

Yesterday was an interesting day for the Cloud business in the UK.

The impact of Sandy on the East Coast of The US had unexpected impacts on our clients in Australia and the UK.

The Internet is now so connected and internet traffic being routed in so many ways round the world, that Sandy meant that the connection between our data centre and our Australian clients started going slow and eventually we lost connection. People went home and logged in normally.

Then as the day shift arrived in the office our clients using Bullhorn started to call in. Bullhorn had disruptions to their DNS and users were getting unpredictable behaviour. Most things were sorted by the afternoon.

However, it reminds us that when a Butterfly beats its wings in Asia OR when The eastern seaboard is hit by a storm - we are all impacted.

Innovate or risk loosing you margin!
