SiliconANGLE , Monday, July 22nd, 2024
The world is still taking stock after a faulty software update from CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. caused one of the largest-ever information technology outages
The CrowdStrike outage impact was a main subject of conversation for theCUBE Research industry analysts John Furrier (pictured, left) and Dave Vellante (right) to dive into on the latest episode of theCUBE Podcast.
'This CrowdStrike story is kind of an inside baseball story,' Furrier said. 'Some metadata got launched, config files got put out there, caused a ripple effect. If you're in the business, you know what this means. But to me, this is a groundbreaking story.'
The outage was important given its scale, impacting everyone from airlines to medical facilities. The CrowdStrike outage impact was felt by every single person in America, as well as everyone connected to it, Furrier noted.
