ITD is undertaking a major project to replace the entire UNE Voice and Data network. This will involve the replacement of the entire network and add full wireless capability over the campus and colleges.
Â
To date the project has completed the design, procurement, off site run up phases and core network switches have been installed in their final locations here on campus.
Â
We now need to transfer central data centre equipment from our current network to the new network infrastructure.
Â
This transfer will unfortunately require a number of service outages and cause some minor inconvenience to staff and students using computers connected to the network. It is our intention that this will be undertaken progressively and during low usage periods in order to limit impact.
Â
The first of these outages will occur tomorrow morning (Friday January 16, 2009) between the hours of 05:00 and 08:00 and some services may be disrupted during this period.
Â
Information about the project will be posted to the Net-Ops mailing list and on the ITD service announcements web page. When necessary ITD will also email support staff in each area to advise of upcoming changes, what impact they can expect and what actions, if any, they will need to perform.
