May 24 - 26: University computing system maintenance

Many central university web sites and email addresses will be inaccessible on Tuesday, May 24 and Wednesday May 25, 2011. In addition, the Sakai web site will continue to be unavailable on Thursday, May 26th.

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) has scheduled long-overdue and unavoidable work on the electrical systems in Hill Center on the Busch Campus. Since many university web and email servers are housed in the Hill Center, the lack of electricity requires them to be shut down until the work is finished. Additional information is available on the OIT status page (that should temporarily be located in Camden, so still accessible). The new electrical system will help prevent future outages.

The Sakai software will also be updated to Sakai version 2.8 as soon as the electricity is back, which requires an extra day of work. 

The SIRS Results web page is hosted on RCI, so is inaccessible until the maintenance is finished.  All other CTAAR services (our main web site, any email @ctaar.rutgers.edu) continue to function normally.
