TSE sets up committee on outage as Fujitsu continues investigation

If there are 2 more glitches, maybe Fujitsu will take another century.

This sentence makes no sense: after a memory in one of its discs was physically broken

A disk/c can’t have “a memory”. Therefore it can’t have be “physically” broken since it doesn’t exist.

Sounds like a memory device broke.

Overkill to set up a big fancy committee over this - but not in terms of marketing I guess. Backup settings not working sounds like simple misconfiguration that was never ever tested. This is hardly unusual given the way most IT organizations are run.

This is an very odd explanation for a full system collapse. What happened to the built in redundancy and fault tolerance of the system??? These are financial records of transactions with real owners no matter how fast they happen or don't happen...

Agree, mechanical hardrives can fail but a sector fail won't crash a system.

I firmly believe they are using a RAID system, that means that you need to kill at least 2 hard drives to get to a read error.

Nothing makes sense.
