Reminder: network upgrades start this week. See the full 2020 schedule
The Office of Technology Services (OTS) is upgrading network equipment in several campus buildings. After many months of preparation, OTS has developed an upgrade plan that will minimize disruption to normal business operations, targeting January, Spring Break, and Summer Sessions for most of the work. Each upgrade has been organized to minimize the amount of time that network and desktop VoIP telephone services will be unavailable, but please plan accordingly if your building is affected.
Date and locations
This is the upgrade schedule for 2020:
- January 9 – Health and Counseling Center
- January 16 – Olympic Place
- January 23 – SECU Arena
- March 19 – TUNE
- May 28 – Glen Tower A
- June 4 – Glen Tower B
- June 11 – Glen Tower C
- June 18 – Glen Tower D
Services affected
On the above scheduled dates, the following services will be unavailable in the respective building:
- Network Services: this includes-but is not limited to-email, calendaring, file shares, network printing, and Internet
- Wired and Wireless Networks
- Desktop VoIP Telephone Services
What to expect
Building Coordinators will be sent a direct email with a reminder, several days in advance. On the day of the upgrade, services will go offline in the morning and will be restored throughout the day. At the end of the day, all services will be restored.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Nik Talati at (410) 704-5991.
