What is the Tuesday computer network at risk period about?

Information Services are responsible for operating and maintaining a large amount of IT Infrastructure which is critical to the running of the University.

From time to time, technical staff are required to make changes or upgrades to this infrastructure to ensure its security, stability, and suitability for ongoing business needs.

To minimise disruption whilst changes take place, Tuesday mornings between 07:00 and 10:00 have been designated as dedicated maintenance windows.

During these times, Information Services will perform work which may result in services going offline for a period whilst the upgrades take place.

Therefore, staff and students should consider all services to be ‘at-risk’ during these periods. Advanced warning will be provided if the planned work is likely to impact services past 10:00.

All maintenance is advertised via the IS Service Status page. On this page, you can view the latest updates from Information Services regarding service maintenance, as well as subscribing to email updates.
