As previously posted September 15, September 25, and September 28, University IT Services will be performing a major upgrade to the data center network beginning this weekend.
Due to the amount of work required, this weekends' work needs to begin in advance of the University's normal weekly maintenance window. Except for Blackboard (myweb.shu.edu) and the University's Web site (www.shu.edu), most IT systems will be down beginning Saturday, October 4th, at 5:00 PM, through Sunday, October 5th, at 8:00 AM. Note that email and Banner will not be available during this period. Blackboard and the University's Web site will be available throughout this maintenance. Please plan your work accordingly.
We apologize for any inconvenience this extended maintenance window may cause. This upgrade is required to enable the clustering of servers to provide redundancy in the event one server fails. Providing IT services that are highly available is an objective of UITS and is increasingly expected by the University community.
Please call the Technology Help Desk at 973-275-2222 if you have any questions or concerns regarding this maintenance, or for any questions related to the University's technology systems and services.
Steve Landry, CIO
