Data Center Outages on July 11 and 25

From the IT Group:

As part of the Data Center Upgrade Project being completed this summer, all network and information system services will be down on Saturday, July 11, from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m., and on Saturday, July 25, from 8 a.m. to noon.

The following systems will not be available during these outages:
• Outlook (including Outlook client and OWA access)
• Datatel
• P & Q file storage
• Internet access
• WebAdvisor
• MyKSC (only offline for those working on-campus, with the exception of the Student Services tab. This will be unavailable to those working from on-campus or off-campus.)
• Blackboard (only offline for those working on-campus)
• Hosted server solutions (Bookstore, Judicial, Health Service scheduling)
• Library connection to Keene Library
• Campus Safety camera feeds, ticketing system, 8800 phone directory
• ID card swipe card door entry notifications (physical door access with ID card would still work)

The Data Center Upgrade Project will improve power distribution and power management to systems, and improve the air cooling and fire suppression systems. We appreciate your patience as we work to schedule these two Data Center outages when they will have the least amount of impact to campus operations. If you have any questions regarding this or any other technology issue, please feel free to contact the HelpDesk at 8-2532, email or stop by our office on the second floor of Elliot Hall.
