The main departmental networking infrastructure will be upgraded in the afternoon of Wednesday March 16 from 3pm until 5pm. During this time there will be a few network outages (which should be less than about 5 minutes in total for a particular machine) as the switches connecting desktop computers are moved and as the main departmental servers are moved to new connections to the University backbone. The new connection will provide redundancy for desktop computers and (in the future) for some of the main servers. The new connection to the University backbone will run at 10Gbps so that transferring large files will be faster.
