The May 14 outage occurred for about an hour starting at 7:48 a.m. Pacific time, Urs Hoelzle, Google’s senior vice president of operations, said in a Google blog posting last week. “An error in one of our systems caused us to direct some of our web traffic through Asia, which created a traffic jam,” he says. “As a result, about 14% of our users experienced slow services or even interruptions. “
