Now the ObamaCare data center has crashed too

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Now the ObamaCare data center has crashed too (Page 1 of 2)

The outage that started in the early hours of Sunday caused the data center to lose network connectivity with the federal government's data services hub, an electronic traffic roundabout that links the online health insurance marketplaces with numerous federal agencies and can verify people's identity, citizenship, and other facts.

Without the hub, consumers are unable to apply online for coverage or determine their eligibility for federal subsidies to help pay for insurance premiums. On Saturday, Sebelius praised the hub's ability to perform complex calculations in quick time as an example of a successful segment of the system.

HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said Sebelius spoke with Verizon's chief executive officer on Sunday afternoon to discuss the situation: "They committed to fixing the problem as soon as possible."

The outage was affecting enrollment in all 50 states, as well as Terremark customers not connected with the marketplaces, according to the HHS spokeswoman. She said the data center's network connectivity went down during planned maintenance to replace a failed networking component.

No redundancy....for 600 million. Man, I wish could conduct business like that.

I wonder if the contractors are going to have to increase the amount of kickbacks due to all the bad publicity and embarrassment?

Hello? Server redundancy... Hello? Earth to the stupid people in .gov, wake the fuck up!!!

You'd think the thing would have been loaded onto virtual machines that could be restored in minutes.

Maybe, but I think it's going to be a while before people start to trust that the govt can do anything effectively…. People might be a bit skeptical that the answer to this failure is to give the govt more responsibility.

I'm sure that it is.

I design high availability clustered resources for a living. There is more than just using virtuals.

But in a properly designed environment, nine nines of uptime is easily attainable.

Server redundancy and VM restoration wouldn't do anything to solve this problem. What they have is a connectivity issue. What was needed was network or DC circuit failover in some form of its many iteration.

That's why they are meeting with the CEO of Verizon.

It seems to be back up, for the moment.

I'll bet that was a million dollar emergency patch, on top of all the other patches.

Years ago, when the big push for national health care began, when true conservatives and libertarians made analogies to the efficiency of the US Post Office, they were mocked.

It was a planned outage

HHS Statement:

The application and enrollment system on HealthCare.gov and the Data Services Hub is down because Terremark, the company that operates the data center that hosts the HealthCare.gov website and the Data Services Hub, experienced a failure in a networking component, and planned maintenance to replace it brought down network connectivity to the data center. Our understanding is that this failure is likely impacting several other sites, in addition to HealthCare.gov and the Data Services Hub. Terremark is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
