PLANNED OUTAGE – Major Core UWA Network Upgrade
Date: Sunday, 20 December 2015
Time: 08:00 – 15:00
Description: As part of the UWA IT Transformation Program, major changes to the UWA IT network (Network Consolidation project) are required to improve network resiliency and reliability. This initial project phase will result in an extended network outage campus wide between 08:00 and 15:00 on the 20th of December, which will prevent access to all systems. As this work is being performed on UWA’s core network infrastructure, access to UWA services and applications cannot be guaranteed for the entire duration of the work. It is extremely important that this work be undertaken during this low usage period. BITS will make all efforts to minimise outage times and impact on all users of UWA IT services.
