02 Feb 12 Upcoming ITTS Service Outages

We plan to move the following services to the new Internet circuit this week

Tuesday 2/7

• Google Search Appliances
• Joblist Website

Wednesday 2/8

• Collage Web Content Management System

Thursday 2/9

• Domain Naming Services (No Outage Expected)
• Shibboleth Single Sign On Services
• Citrix Communication Services (No Outage Expected)
• Net Storage Services

We have signed contracts with a different Internet Service Provider. The new Internet circuit is up and operational and in use for some of our systems.  This new circuit gives us more bandwidth and reduces our telecom costs. 

We plan to move the rest of our systems to the new circuit, which requires us to change public IP addresses.  This work will begin next week and will last for a few weeks to the extent possible.  Public facing services will be migrated after hours beginning promptly at 5pm every evening.  We estimate the outages to vary from one to two hours per service. 

We will post the schedule of service interruptions shortly.
