Polaris had data center problems

Polaris Media experienced technical issues at an external data center on Tuesday afternoon, causing several of its newspapers, including Adressa, Fædrelandsvennen, and Agderposten, to go offline. The websites displayed error messages but were restored by 13:00. According to Polaris' technology director, Asle Vestvik, the problem affected all of the company's publications. This follows previous challenges last week, which involved internal errors.

Adressa, Fædrelandsvennen og Agderposten var blant avisene som er nede tirsdag ettermiddag. Ved 13-tiden var de oppe igjen.

– Oppkjøring av tjenester og alle nettsteder pågår nå, sier teknologidirektør Asle Vestvik i Polaris Media til NRK .

Ifølge ham var det problemer på et eksternt datasenter som skapte trøbbelet for konsernets aviser tidlig tirsdag ettermiddag.

Feilen så ut til å ramme alle konsernets aviser. Selskapet eier 78 aviser rundt om i Norden.

Nettsidene viste bare en feilmelding, men nå er de altså oppe igjen. Det viser også NTBs stikkprøver.

Også i forrige uke hadde Polaris utfordringer, men den gangen var det en intern feil, ifølge NRK.
