Großstörung: Microsoft: Service komplett wieder hergestellt
Besprechungen ließen sich nicht richtig planen, Kalender hingen: Die Microsoft-Störung legte zentrale Cloud-Dienste lahm. Die Probleme sind überwunden.
Redmond - Microsoft has announced that a major disruption affecting its core cloud services has been resolved. The company confirmed on its website on Saturday morning (CET) that all systems were back online. The issues extended beyond Microsoft's email service Outlook to encompass services from the Microsoft 365 cloud package. For instance, the business communication platform Teams experienced problems with scheduling meetings and linking calendars.
Additionally, Microsoft's AI assistant Copilot and interfaces with third-party providers faced intermittent disruptions, including AI services such as OpenAI and Anthropic. Microsoft had begun making progress by Friday afternoon, and the company emphasized that the outage was due to an internal problem, not a cyberattack or AI activity.
There was also no connection between the technical failure and the thousands of flight cancellations in the US that began late Friday evening (CET). The root cause, according to Microsoft, stemmed from a problem introduced during a recent network capacity upgrade. The issue manifested itself only after recent network changes, the company stated.
