UGA network maintenance on Jan. 25

Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) will conduct network maintenance on Saturday, Jan. 25 from 6 a.m.-11:59 p.m., which will result in periodic, intermittent outages of campus internet access and campus information systems.

Because the outages associated with this maintenance will be unpredictable, the community should assume that network services will be unavailable during the entire day.

Key points:

• Systems that use services in the UGA Boyd Data Center will experience outages, including UGA websites hosted in the center. The University’s primary website is hosted off-campus and will remain available.
• UGA’s Central Authentication System (CAS) and UGA’s Single Sign-On (UGA SSO) will also experience outages. This will mean individuals will not be able to login to many UGA-provided information systems such as: Athena, Banner Administrative System, Degree Works, eLearning Commons (eLC), UGA Financial Management System, UGA Budget Management System, UGAJobs, UGAmart, OneUSG Connect, and OneUSG Connect Benefits.
• Individuals off campus during the maintenance window will experience outages accessing UGAMail, websites hosted by UGA, the Virtual Private Network (VPN), ArchPass Duo, and information systems hosted by EITS.
• All systems behind the central departmental firewalls will experience outages to the UGA network.

This maintenance is necessary to support an expansion and upgrade of the network that will allow EITS to continue providing ample bandwidth and capacity for the University.

Additional details and progress reports will be posted on the UGA systems status website and on the EITS Twitter feed at @uga_eits.
