I suspect it is probably more about common data bases. The system evolved from input from government experts. So you can imagine, it is last decade's technology with an ever increasing data file size and patchworks to maintain interoperability. The entire system failed back in 2008 as well, and was shut down cold for 6 hours to reboot. There is no reason they should have crushed the industry by cancelling thousands of flights. Aircrew, towers and ground should be able to communicate effectively to keep things safe.
