Outages, Downtimes, Service Interruptions? When will web services be able to maintain a standard uptime?  I know I’ve been preaching this heavily lately in prior posts and the podcast. But this is downright ridiculous.

Now, in the news: SalesForce.com goes down. The flagship web service, which touts itself as the next generation of web applications, says they do not know to what extent the outage’s damages was. But customers reported they simply saw an error message for hours while trying to access the web applications. Sound familiar? It’s a shame that thousands of businesses depend on this service on a daily basis for essential business operations.

I hate beating this topic to death but I think it is a very important issue. It’s especially important as more businesses conduct operations online through third party web services. We should have uptime problems solved by now. It’s 2005.

Hopefully this is the last I will post about this. I thought it funny that this guy called it Internet Outage Week There are many others who have had their say in this too. Check them out here.
