Upate on Status

Regarding the 503 errors, we've yet to see a new one in a week. We consider this resolved at this time.

Regarding the up and down of the mainframe, we have UPS batteries on order to address the source of the issue that was taking the mainframe system down on a daily basis.

Regarding bandwidth issues, we are still hitting our peak levels at various times throughout the day. We're continuing to manage the bandwidth for optimal usage.

Blackboard 503 Errors Believed Resolved

Its been almost 18 hours since fine-tuning was completed on the bandwidth for Blackboard and our logs indicate no new 503 errors. We have had one user mention a 503 however we have asked the user to flush the cache/delete temp internet files and try again. If you have a 503 error pop up, please try this as well. If it persists, let the helpdesk know as soon as possible.
