Public cloud services disrupted: Steps businesses should take

Gmail and Google Drive experienced service disruptions globally on March 13rd for appropriately 4 hours. Gmail users reported having trouble saving email drafts, sending emails, attaching and accessing attachments. Google Drive users experienced trouble uploading and downloading files.

Synology Inc. has urged businesses to face up to the hidden cost and risks after adopting public cloud services. It is suggested that businesses should consider NAS, which bases on the private cloud architecture and provides file sync services, collaboration suite, corporate communication app, mail services, and high availability services simultaneously, helping businesses to minimize the risks and losses caused by public cloud services anomalies.
