Google now provides users of its suite of hosted applications with a way to quickly check the status of Google Apps services. The new Google Apps Status Dashboard tells you whether a given Apps service is down for everyone, or just for you. A very timely launch by Google, after a couple of hours of Gmail outage nearly caused an online panic yesterday.
The dashboard tracks the status of 10 online services over a period of five days, and clicking on the status icon provides more information, straight from the Google support teams. In November last year, Google announced 99.9% availability for the paid edition of its online productivity suite.
From the Official Google Blog:
"The Google Apps Status Dashboard represents an additional layer of transparency that we believe will be particularly useful for our business users, and it's also relevant to users of our consumer products. The Status Dashboard is the best place to check for information on service availability for Google Apps anywhere in the world."
Google Apps is now fully operational.
