Samsung is apparently down globally at the moment. There is some speculation that this is related to a fire at the Sds facility, which really begs an interesting question about how Samsung handles it's datacenter(s). I find it hard to believe that they would design something so poorly as to not have geographical fault tolerance, but by the same token, all of the hub services are down along with the samsung.com website.
At a minimum, this should be cause for concern about how and where Samsung stores our data and in my case has me in a bind because I'm actually having issues with the Hancom apps on my note pro 12.2. I actually uninstalled hword because it wouldn't open up documents and found out about Samsung being offline when I couldn't access the Samsung app store or Hancom updater to reinstall it.
A company the size of Samsung and they couldn't be bothered with a proper disaster recovery strategy that would ensure availability?
I sincerely hope nobody was injured in the reported fire, but it certainly seems to have provided some insight into what Samsung considers to be acceptable service levels. If this is how little regard they show for critical service availability, it's no wonder firmware updates are always an issue.
