Redmond, Nov 13 (V7N)- Microsoft, one of the world's leading technology companies, has been hit by a global technical outage, disrupting several widely used services, including email and cloud storage.
Reuters reported the outage on Friday morning (November 13), citing Downdetector, a website that monitors disruptions to online services.
Thousands of users worldwide have reportedly been affected by the disruption across Microsoft's services.
Microsoft said some of its technical infrastructure in several regions around the world was experiencing higher-than-usual pressure, which could be causing connection problems.
The company indicated that the increased pressure on its infrastructure was affecting its ability to operate services normally.
In a social media post, Microsoft said it was making every effort to resolve the issue. It was also attempting to restart the affected servers to restore normal services.
Microsoft experienced similar disruptions earlier this year, in January, when Outlook, Teams and other Microsoft 365 services went offline for several hours.
