Google當機5分鐘 全球網路流量減4成

Google損失1644萬
〔編譯詹立群／綜合報導〕Google多項服務於美國時間16日下午無預警中斷約5分鐘，期間全球網路流量銳減約40%，Google損失估計近55萬美元（約1644萬台幣），但該公司並未說明此次史無前例的當機原因。
Gmail、YouTube皆中斷
英 國「每日郵報」報導，Google搜尋引擎、電子信箱Gmail、影音分享網站YouTube及雲端硬碟Google Drive等一系列服務，16日下午中斷1至5分鐘。據網路分析公司GoSquared調查，Google當機期間全球網路流量銳減約4成，反映 Google在網路世界的驚人影響力，網友極為依賴Google。
當機期間，Google在用戶數據紀錄服務Dashboard發佈訊息， 公布Gmail使用者登入帳戶有問題，受到影響的用戶仍可登入，但可能會「出現無預警的狀況」。稍晚訊息顯示，太平洋夏令時間15點51分到15點52 分，使用者向Google傳送的要求有5到7成發生錯誤，服務在1分鐘後大部分恢復，全部服務在4分鐘後正常。
專家蘇利文（Danny Sullivan）表示，這種所有服務同時當機的情況非常罕見，今年4月Gmail也曾當機，但當時Google網站主頁並未受影響。若以Google第 二季營收141億美元估算，每分鐘營收約10.8萬美元，當機5分鐘的損失高達54.5萬美元。

See all stories on this topic »    According to Google's Apps Status Dashboard, all of its services -- from Gmail and Google Documents to Postini and Blogger -- were affected by the outage, which the search giant said lasted less than five minutes. "Between 15:51 and 15:52 PDT, 50% to 70% of requests to Google received errors; service was mostly restored one minute later, and entirely restored after four minutes," according to Google's dashboard. [ Use Gmail? Don't expect your messages to be confidential. See Gmail Is Not A Privacy Problem. ] Multiple analysts discounted the outage having any long-term impact on Google's revenue. "This individual outage doesn't really matter," Greg Sterling, a researcher with Sterling Market Intelligence, told the Financial Times. "The idea that Google could go down is unsettling to people, but it doesn't create a problem for the company unless it starts to happen more frequently." A Google spokesman, contacted outside of normal business hours Monday, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about what caused the outage. But Sterling said the blackout likely wasn't the result of a hack attack. "Somebody in Mountain View probably unplugged something, then plugged it back in," he said. People temporarily robbed of access to Google's services quickly posted on other sites. "My life came to an end as I know it for three minutes -- Google everything was down -- google.com, google apps, google sites, the entire enchilada," posted a user named "Rick" to the Sitedown.co website. "I thought this [expletive deleted] was failsafe?" Likewise, social analytics firm Topsy recorded a surge in related tweets, including a joke from Danny Sullivan, editor of the Search Engine Land blog. "Google went down because it was told it could no longer have 20% time and didn't like it," he tweeted, referring to recent reports that Google has discontinued the practice of giving all employees one day per week to work on personal projects. That "20% time" policy reportedly lead to such innovations as Gmail, Google Talk and Google News. The outage is a reminder that cloud services aren't infallible. Earlier this year, for example, Google Apps was inaccessible to some customers for a couple of hours. Last year, meanwhile, Amazon experienced four blackouts, including a Christmas Eve outage that was blamed on an Amazon developer accidentally deleting essential data from production systems.
