Today in South Korea,
Samsung Data Center caught fire which resulted in a big outage throughout their services and network. The fire took place at the fourth floor of the SDS building but didn't have any associated fatalities. In Gwacheon, South Korea the Samsung Data Center (SDS) building serves as big network hub for the company which contains various network towers and provides information technology services in various regions. Samsung servers in many regions were effected due to outage caused by fire. Company's official website was also knocked down, but now its is restored. Still ( sds.samsung.com) is down giving a message in Korean language, saying "Sorry for inconvenience" but company is working to fixed and restore the services back to normal. But here the question arises, why the fire at one location cause such a big outage?

Samsung Fire also suspended the connectivity of the number of devices running Samsung applications like , Samsung Smart TV with Smart Hub, Samsung phones and Samsung Blu ray players. Even application stores running on Samsung servers were effected due to the fire. Samsung did apologized for the inconvenience and is still unclear how the fire at
data center effected Samsung primary devices at such a vast scale. Below is the video of the fire at Samsung data center in South Korea.
