A Samsung data center caught fire today, shutting down
Samsung.com.
That wasn’t the only tech casualty from the fire, however,
as various Samsung products, including Smartphones and TVs, were adversely
affected.
The center that went up in flames was the Samsung SDS
building in Gwacheon, South Korea. Users weren’t able to access select Samsung
applications from their phones, tablets, and Smart TVs as a result of the
damage.
The problem was promptly resolved, however, and the outage
caused by the fire ended at around 6.15AM this morning. If you’re a glutton for
seeing buildings ablaze, check out the YouTube clip below.
Korean news outlets have reported that there weren’t any
casualties as a result of the fire (thankfully). The cause of the fire hasn’t
been determined.
It does seem a bit strange that a fire in one location would
cause such a widespread issue for Samsung’s user base. Does anyone think that
this is unusual?
