Microsoft says Delta’s ancient IT explains long outage after CrowdStrike snafu
Microsoft says Delta’s ancient IT explains long outage after CrowdStrike snafu
"Delta, unlike its competitors... has not modernized its IT infrastructure."
You're viewing a single thread.
so Delta's non-Windows machines were the ones that suffered the most from a Windows software malfunction? that makes sense
It didn't say "non-windows" it said "served by other providers like IBM". It could easily be Windows servers in IBM's cloud and wouldn't ya' know...IBM uses Crowdstrike.
i'm gonna level with you, i completely forgot IBM cloud was a thing and just thought this was MS pointing fingers at system Z or system . thanks for catching that!
Having to reset or recalibrate other old systems that were disrupted by newer ones going offline makes sense to me. If servers were providing Network Time Protocol and older clients drifted without it, that could cause them to be unable to rejoin a domain. I'm speculating wildly, but it's an example of how losing important infra can cause issues even after it's restored.
