On Tuesday, July 29 from 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. all network services campus-wide will be unavailable while Physical Plant and ITS install a large uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in Chambers. The UPS will power a storage system known as a SAN or storage area network. The installation of a secondary SAN in Chambers is part of a long term ITS plan to improve disaster preparedness by replicating critical campus data and systems from the primary data center on Jackson Street to the secondary location in Chambers.

If you have any questions or would like more information on ITS' disaster preparedness plan, I will be happy to chat with you. If you have any questions about the network outage, please contact David Link (dalink@davidson.edu).
