Major Interruption to University Computing Services Fri 31st Aug & Sat 1st Sept

Please can I draw your attention to a notice issued by the University Computing Services as it will affect access to the Managed Windows Service (MWS) and hence the Online Library and University email this Friday (31st Aug) and Saturday (1st Sep).

There will be a major interruption to the computing services between 16:30 Friday August 31 and 15:00 on Saturday September 1st. In order to install the first phase of the upgrade to the campus data network backbone to 10 gigabit, there will be no access to most core services, including the MWS, University email and Windows Terminal Service from 16:30 on Friday 31 August until 15:00 on Saturday September 1st. We apologise for this interruption to service but it is an essential step to improving the performance of the campus network. Much of the other work to complete the upgrade to the network can be undertaken without the need for major service interruptions.
