Intrinsiq Insider: Intrinsiq Unscathed By Global Software Outage

Hello and welcome to another article in our series, Intrinsiq Insider. You must be wondering why we are publishing two articles consecutively this week and the reason behind this is we wanted to give you a quick update about last week's system failure across the world and how Intrinsiq's system continued to work without interruption.

In the last week, what was supposed to be a routine software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike caused a massive outage that disrupted businesses worldwide due to this unexpected issue, airports, banks, retail stores, and law enforcement agencies faced significant challenges.

Despite the widespread impact, Intrinsiq remained unaffected. How? Our platform is designed with multiple smaller apps that handle various parts of the application and run on both Windows and Linux systems. Notably, the Linux systems were unaffected by the CrowdStrike update, ensuring much of the IQ application continued to operate smoothly.

For the Windows systems, we have a strategy of using multiple machines with different patch periods providing a robust safety net. If one machine was patched and experienced issues, the others could seamlessly take over the load. This redundancy ensured that Intrinsiq's services remained reliable and uninterrupted, even amidst a global tech crisis.

At Intrinsiq, we strive to efficiently run our system and provide continuous support to our clients. Keep yourselves updated through our blogs and reach out to us at contact@intrinsiq.net.
