Outage in BlackBerry
by Barbora Misakova
Although I have never held it in my hands I know what it is. BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device which supports e-mail, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and of course other basic features that has every mobile phone. This little thing for everything was developed by Canadian Research In Motion (RIM) and introduced in 1999. For its color display and built-in keyboard which enables to the users write their e-mails quickly and easily this little device became quite popular. In 2007 RIM announced the number of 8 million subscribers.If you belong to those who need to be always connected, need to know about every new e-mail received and are too impatient to read them at home, you will like BlackBerry device a lot. This Monday a three-hour outage was caused and users of e-mail services couldn't send or receive any e-mail. Many of customers using it for voice calls had to be nervous too because their, usually working devices, were for nothing. This e-mail outage which was, by the words of RIM, caused by an upgrade for increasing capacity affected only users in North America. This is not the only case when RIM had problems with system. In April their minor software crashed and in September another disruption was caused by the glitch of their software. Experts think the main problem and reason of all outages which RIM has is in the centralized structure of their system & when the problems are there million of users can be affected. NOC & Network Operations Center is a place where all sent e-mails from users of BlackBerry come and then they are redistributed from there to the recipients. That's why if any type of problem appears here it has impact on every single user of BlackBerry. Maybe they should start to think about some solution & just like Microsoft has. It sends e-mails directly & from server to user's handsets.
