T and Microsoft subsidiaries crash on Internet phone servers

NetEase Science and technology news October 11, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reports, T company, And Danger, a Microsoft subsidiary that made sidekick handsets, announced 10th that all of the user data they put on the Microsoft server was most likely lost due to server failures. This would mean that the data not backed up, including contact books, photos, schedules, to-do items, and so on, no longer exist.

It is reported that if the user has not closed the sidekick mobile phone, and the user has not used the device battery, but also can be transferred to the user's other devices, otherwise the user will lose the existence of all the data on the sidekick. Microsoft and Danger said the chances of recovering the data from their servers were very low.

T's sidekick mobile phone users have been hit by a week of major outage events, apparently the problem is still unresolved.

It is reported that this matter is far more than the loss of user data so simple, it is likely to create a series of other problems. In fact, T and danger do not have to back up the user's data is inexcusable, especially when Microsoft revealed that sidekick mobile phone users of the data is completely dependent on the cloud, which is more unreasonable, because the cloud means that all data is not on the local computer.

Microsoft bought the Dange company in February 2008 at a price of 500 million dollars. There are other guesses that the user data loss event was not caused by a server crash, but because danger attempted to back up the user data before the storage Area network upgrade was complete, resulting in data loss.

Sidekick mobile phone to network services as the biggest feature in the United States once hit. Danger, its developer, was acquired by Microsoft in 2008, and recent rumours suggest that Microsoft's own-brand smartphone, which is likely to be launched next year, is actually based on sidekick.
