Think how bad it is for the server banks during this hot, hot summer if you think your office is too hot.
The Register first reported on the cloud server heat-related failures as a record-breaking heat wave has caused massive havoc with not just civil infrastructure but also the computer infrastructure as well.
England's cloud computing apparatus was badly affected by the heat. On Tuesday afternoon, the oracle cloud server were taken offline, but came back on Wednesday morning. The time is U.S. time The company shut down its London center after it failed to keep up with the temperature. The report states that some users of the cloud were not able to access their data quickly.
A subset of Oracle Integration Cloud resources continue to experience impact even after the server was restored.
There were extra errors, high latencies, and server failures in the europe-west2 server bank, which is located in London. Cloud Machine Learning, Cloud Firestore and Cloud Datastore are just a few of the services that were affected by the server issues.
The buildings that host the europe-west2 server had a cooling related failure. The company said that cooling systems were restored and that some services should be online again. People using multiple services will be experiencing service disruptions on Wednesday, according to the company.
While they try to get all the programs back up and running, there should not be any further service disruptions for UK users.
England has not been prepared for a heat wave. Residential buildings don't have air conditioning. It seems that the building meant to house computer services wasn't built to handle those high temperatures.
It is another example of how much of our infrastructure is not built to deal with climate change. We have already seen the impact of the fires in Europe and North Africa. The New York City subways were washed out. In Texas, the multiple massiveCrypto mining facilities take their systems offline so as not to overtax the state's overburdened grid.
