Google an IT Company has issued an apology after a “miscalculation” caused a blackout of its Gmail IT service, affecting the “majority” of its 150 million users.
The firm described Tuesday’s two-hour outage as a “big deal” and said it was investigating ways to ensure it did not happen again.
The disruption was caused by an error during “routine upgrades” to the company’s web servers, it said.
The free version of Gmail has been ranked as the world’s third most-popular e-mail program, behind similar IT services provided by Microsoft and Yahoo.
