? Data Center Power Blip” Disrupts Flights and Businesses in Hawai’i ?
On a beautiful Aloha Friday morning, an unexpected “power blip” occurred at a data center that wasn’t even on the radar. This incident caused significant flight delays for Hawaiian Airlines and disrupted operations for several other businesses, including Bank of Hawai’i, Hawai’i Pacific Health, and The Queen’s Medical Center. ?✈️?
Rosa White, one of the founders of DRFortress, didn’t disclose the exact number of affected businesses. She mentioned that the company was in the midst of a maintenance operation when they encountered a maintenance issue that resulted in an internet outage affecting some of their clients. ???
Apologizing to their customers and their customers’ customers, White expressed her regret over the impact caused by the incident in an interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. During the outage, Hawaiian Airlines experienced significant delays, and flights were unable to depart between 9 a.m. and noon on Friday. ⏰✈️?
Due to space constraints at Kahului Airport, two flights destined for Kahului from the West Coast were diverted to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, as confirmed by Tara Shimooka, the external communications manager for Hawaiian Airlines. ?️✈️?
Shimooka explained, “Around 9 a.m. (Friday), we experienced a temporary internet outage in Hawai’i due to a power disruption at our third-party data vendor during scheduled maintenance. The outage impacted our Hawai’i systems and headquarters but has since been resolved. However, we are still experiencing flight delays as a result of the temporary outage. We are working with the affected passengers and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.” ???️?
It’s important to note that the internet outage was unrelated to Hawaiian Airlines’ recent changes in passenger services. Shimooka reassured that flight safety was not compromised. ??✈️?✈️
“Our current focus is on resuming our flight schedule and ensuring the safe transportation of our passengers to their intended destinations,” Shimooka added. ??✈️?✈️
DRFortress provides services to numerous local businesses, although the exact number remains undisclosed. Among the known clients are Bank of Hawai’i, The Queen’s Medical Center, Hawai’i Pacific Health, and the Star-Advertiser. ????
During the incident, the Star-Advertiser faced operational challenges for approximately an hour. Melissa Torres-Laing, the senior vice president of corporate communications for the bank, stated, “Bank of Hawai’i experienced a temporary service interruption due to a power outage at a third-party data center, DRFortress. All operations, including those at branches, ATMs, and the call center, have now returned to normal.” ????
The Queen’s Medical Center reported a temporary impact on a few internal services, but patient safety remained unaffected, according to Sean Ibara, a spokesperson for the center. ???
Although the power outage caused havoc for airlines and businesses, it’s fortunate that no significant harm or danger occurred. Flights were delayed, people experienced inconvenience, and operations were disrupted. However, the situation was swiftly resolved, and systems were brought back online. Hawaiian Airlines is diligently working to restore the flight schedule and ensure that all passengers reach their destinations safely. The other affected businesses, such as Bank of Hawai’i and The Queen’s Medical Center, have also recovered from the temporary disruptions and resumed their services to the community. ???
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of reliable and secure data centers. Even a small glitch can have significant repercussions for airlines, businesses, and the people who depend on them. However, the paramount concern is always the safety of everyone involved, and steps will be taken to prevent similar outages in the future. ???
So, the next time you board a flight or engage in online business transactions, take a moment to appreciate the hard work happening behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly. And if you encounter any outages or delays, try to remain patient and understanding. Technical difficulties can arise, but the spirit of aloha will guide us through. ?✈️?
Let us hope that this power blip was merely a minor bump in the road and that both the airlines and businesses can swiftly recover. We extend our gratitude for your understanding and cooperation during this time. Remember, even when things don’t go as planned, we remain resilient and ready to face any challenges that come our way. ???
