Sony to Reboot Playstation PSN in New Data Center
May 2nd, : BOURKEY88
Sony said today that it will shift the operation of the Playstation Network (PSN) to a new data center as part of a broader retooling to improve the security of the service, which was shut down last week after intruders gained access to data from up to 78 million customer accounts.




The PSN servers had been housed in an AT&T data center in San Diego, California. The Playstation Network is operated by a Sony Network Entertainment International, a business unit created last year to manage dedicated infrastructure for PSN. Sony hosts most of its gaming infrastructure with AT&T’s game hosting division, which operates out of multiple data centers around the globe.

Sony said that it had “expedited an already planned move of the system to a new data center in a different location that has been under construction and development for several months,” according to an update on the Playstation blog. “Following a criminal cyber-attack on the company’s data-center located in San Diego, California, U.S.A., SNEI quickly turned off the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, engaged multiple expert information security firms over the course of several days and conducted an extensive audit of the system. Since then, the company has implemented a variety of new security measures to provide greater protection of personal information.”

Sony did not indicate the location of the new data center or provide details on how it might differ from the facility in San Diego that had previously housed PSN. The data center move was part of a broader initiative to improve the security of the network.

“This criminal act against our network had a significant impact not only on our consumers, but our entire industry,” saidKazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “Our global audience of PlayStation Network and Qriocity consumers was disrupted. We have learned lessons along the way about the valued relationship with our consumers.” BULL S H I T
