In the past 20 hours, an unexpected outage at Vital Teknoloji Datacenter in Bursa, one of Turkey's largest data centers, sent shockwaves through the internet world. The shutdown of servers at this giant facility, which hosts millions of websites, is believed to have caused millions of lira in losses for hundreds of individuals and companies. I estimate my own share of this loss to be around 100,000 TL within 20 hours.

In today's world, where the internet has become an indispensable part of daily life, any outage at a data center can lead to a major crisis. The disruption experienced by Vital Teknoloji Datacenter not only resulted in financial losses but also caused reputational damage for many companies. As an example, I have lost 15 clients as of now. Companies unable to serve their customers, experiencing data loss, and losing their online presence are likely to feel the effects of this outage for a long time.

This incident once again highlighted how fragile technology can be. It underscores the need for both data centers and internet service providers to be more meticulous about their emergency plans and backup systems.

While the outage at Vital Teknoloji Datacenter may seem like a technical issue, it was actually a major disaster affecting the futures of many individuals and companies. There are lessons to be learned for the industry, but it's also crucial to protect the rights of the victims and address compensation claims. Some companies are facing hefty compensation payments simply because their emails couldn't be accessed!

Although our trust in technology may be shaken, we hope that stakeholders in the industry will learn to deal with such situations more effectively and prevent similar disasters in the future.
