Blogging sites hit in network outage | | 2008/04/30 | | Users of numerous blog sites were left out in the cold last week as the Sports Blog Nation network experienced an extended system outage.
The organisation was forced to apologise to sports fans that use its websites to voice their opinions in post and pre match debates.
While summarising the cause of the outage, which hit on Wednesday, April 23rd as a major hardware failure, Sports Blog Nation announced the failure had prompted it to address a number of technical issues in an effort to prevent a repeat.
In a statement, the firm announced it would be "thinking about more hardware redundancy" and "working with our hosting provider on a more paranoid hardware server upgrade process".
Also considered would be a "more flexible application stack that can adjust dynamically to failures" and a "different message on our downtime/maintenance screen".
Elsewhere, women's magazine Vanity Fair could be considering the use of a website availability monitoring service - the publication's homepage recently experienced an outage after an overwhelming number of visitors clamoured to see revealing shots of US actress Miley Cyrus.
