Google Apps Customers Not Happy With Downtime

March 31st, 2007 at 8:09 am

Paying customers of the Google Apps suite are starting to question the company’s ability to offer guaranteed services, like basic uptime.

Google seems to have problems keeping its uptime pledge to some paying customers of its Google Apps suite of hosted services according to PC World.

Little over a month after introducing Google Apps’ Premier version, which includes a 99.99 percent uptime commitment, Google is failing to meet that service level agreement (SLA) for an undetermined number of customers.

“Google has not met its SLA with me, that’s correct,” Grant Cummings, an IT professional from Ohio and Premier customer, wrote in an e-mail interview.

On Tuesday, Google Apps’ Gmail service suffered significant availability problems that began in the morning (U.S. Eastern Time) and were declared officially solved for all users early Wednesday afternoon. The problems also affected Gmail users who aren’t on Google Apps.
