Last month, we shared that our offsite data center is moving. Step one was successfully completed over spring break and included bringing new storage online and moving some servers. The team is now preparing to make internet connection changes.
On Saturday, April 13, ITS will perform maintenance on the campus connections to the Internet. This maintenance will result in additional Internet bandwidth and redundancy. Work will begin at 5 a.m. and should be completed no later than 7 a.m. Every precaution is being taken to avoid disruptions during the maintenance window, but there could be brief periods between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. on April 13 where Internet connectivity to and from campus is down.
Throughout April, there will be additional OnCampus communications to share details of the next steps in the internet connection and data center move work.
