On Monday, January 19, 2009 (Martin Luther King Holiday) the ITS department will be upgrading the central storage solution used by the majority of production servers throughout the University. This upgrade will provide more disk space (16 more Terabytes) for all major servers in preparation for the TitanConnect Banner Student, Financial Aid and Portal go-live projects, allow for ITS to streamline daily and weekly back-up and free hardware that will become core components for a future hot-site.
To accomplish this upgrade a number of computer services will be offline for a period of time. Starting at 6:00 am on January 19th access to all University web-servers, all TitanConnect Banner services, all TitanNet services, faculty/staff email and student email will be unavailable to approximately 3:00 pm.
All incoming e-mail will be queued and delivered after services have been restored.
During this time, access to the Internet for web surfing, Exchange, Blackboard (aka Knowledge), www.detroittitans.com, Wimba and TurnItIn will remain available.
Updates will be posted on the ITS Outage Blog located at http://udm-its.blogspot.com.
We apologize in advance for the down-time and appreciate your patience as we take these steps to further build up the University’s environment.
ITS
