Digital Realty's Singapore disaster still complicating cloud after a week
A week after a fire broke out at a Singapore datacenter, Alibaba Cloud is waiting for some hardware to dry out before it restores services and customer data., the migration and restoration of affected hardware and machineries at the SIN11 Digital Realty datacenter is progressing as planned, with the remaining affected cloud products gradually being restored.
The batteries in question were located on the third floor of a four-storey building that opened its doors as a datacenter in 2016. The building is one of three Digital Realty datacenters in Singapore, and the only one redeveloped from existing infrastructure – the other two were greenfield sites. Customers were warned of possible outages over entire Availability Zones – in this case Zone C. Migrating of systems was underway.
Not all was lost though. Later Wednesday morning,"most of the cloud product services affected by the network issues restored to normal," even though the fire department was still waiting for permission to enter the server building.
