The Web 2.0 bubble; to be popped by outages? December 8, 2005
Posted by James Webster in : web , trackbackAfter recently hearing and posting about Fluxiom and DabbleDB I am wondering whether the Web 2.0 bubble is likely to be popped by one or more hosted services (take your pick; Basecamp, Backpack, Typepad, Salesforce, etc, etc) suffering a major outage. Or for that matter, a major loss of telecommunications infrastructure might cause many companies to lose access to the applications they need to keep their business running. How many users of Basecamp, for example, have a disaster recovery plan covering both short-term and long-term outages of this service?
“Disaster Recovery, its not just for big business anymore!”
Update: Jeremy Wright has blogged on the issue of scalability and availability as well.
