The United States did not grant visas for more than two weeks due to a computer crash Bashny.Net

more than two weeks no one in the world не I could obtain a visa to enter United States. The official reason was that on Monday announced the US State Department - the failure of computer equipment. Currently it has about 2/3 of the total number visa centers in the world. No hackers, this time not to blame - the assurances of experts, the problem lies in the system itself.

On the day of the visa center statements drawn an average of 50,000 people around the world. And all this mass accumulate until departmental officials vehemently fought the computer problem. As explained by John Kirby, a spokesman for public enterprises, a problem arose with the functional testing of photos and fingerprints.

Ashley Garrigus, a representative of the consulate Management (Bureau of Consular Affairs), пояснил, that the system was a backup - but when employees switched to him, he, too, was in working order - the data are damaged and can not be used.



How is it that a country with one of the most powerful economies in the world there were no facilities and competent professionals to ensure the smooth running of such an important system - hard to say. In this connection, not to recall fire at the headquarters of the Russian Post two years ago, because of which got their Internet server working from the back room.

One could understand and forgive failure, which is not fixed to a weekend, or at Christmas - but it's hard to believe that the State Department experts can not adjust work computers for two weeks. After all, almost at the same time of the year, in July 2014, жареный cock has pecked computer system of the State Department, which also fell off for a few days.

Moreover, John Kirby says that "more than 100 specialists and computer experts, public servants and employees of commercial ogranizatsii, working day and night on this issue."

All this time, the Department gave visas in manual mode, giving priority to requests for medical necessity or other occasions. It remains to sympathize businessmen whose deal fell through, reporters were not included in the exhibition, and to all those who bought tours, plane tickets and hotel reservations.
