The IBM Cloud at the moment is struggling from a serious outage, and with that, a number of companies that might be hosted on the platform are additionally down.
It appears to be like like the issues began around 2:30 pm PT and spread from there. Best we are able to inform, this can be a worldwide problem and involves a networking challenge, however, IBM’s own status page isn’t really loading anymore and returns an internal server error, so we don’t know the extent of the outage or what triggered it. IBM Cloud’s Twitter account has additionally remained silent, although we discovered a status page for IBM Aspera hosted on a third-party server, which appears to verify that that is seemingly a worldwide networking challenge.
IBM Cloud, which revealed a paper about ensuring zero downtime in April, additionally suffered a minor outage in its Dallas data center in March.
We’ve reached out to IBM’s PR group and can update this put up as soon as we get more data.
