A Samsung data center caught fire today, shutting down Samsung.com.
That wasn’t the only tech casualty from the fire, however, as various
Samsung products, including Smartphones and TVs, were adversely
affected.
The center that went up in flames was the Samsung SDS building in
Gwacheon, South Korea. Users weren’t able to access select Samsung
applications from their phones, tablets, and Smart TVs as a result of
the damage.
The problem was promptly resolved, however, and the outage caused by
the fire ended at around 6.15AM this morning. If you’re a glutton for
seeing buildings ablaze,
Korean news outlets have reported that there weren’t any casualties
as a result of the fire (thankfully). The cause of the fire hasn’t been
determined.
It does seem a bit strange that a fire in one location would cause
such a widespread issue for Samsung’s user base. Does anyone think that
this is unusual?
