IT Crisis: Microsoft deploys hundreds of engineers to restore services

India TV News  

IT Crisis: Microsoft deploys hundreds of engineers to restore services Microsoft stated in a blog post that around 8.5 million devices were affected by the outage, worldwide. It was mentioned in the official blog post of Microsoft on July 20: "Deploying hundreds of Microsoft engineers and experts to work directly with customers to restore services.” The global outage impacted several points of sales and even grounded airlines in India. Microsoft further said, "It's also a reminder of how important it is for all of us across the tech ecosystem to prioritise operating with safe deployment and disaster recovery using the mechanisms that exist.” The software major said that while software updates may occasionally cause disturbances, significant incidents like the CrowdStrike event are infrequent. In the blog post, Microsoft said, "While the percentage was small, the broad economic and societal impacts reflect the use of CrowdStrike by enterprises that run many critical services.” Like most social media companies, Meta also relies on a mix of artificial intelligence and human review to moderate the billions of posts made to its platforms, which further include WhatsApp Instagram and Threads.
