Beginning at 10:00 AM this Saturday, September 22nd, ALL Internet services will be down for all of campus as Computing Services performs a migration to a new, faster Internet connection. This includes Internet outages to the Residence Halls, Campus Computer labs, employee offices and access to any of the locally hosted ASU servers. If you have homework assignments or tasks that are due on Saturday, we strongly urge you to complete and submit them prior to 10:00 AM, or make arrangements with your instructors. The length of the outage is unknown, but Computing Services will be making every effort to complete the upgrade before the end of the day on Saturday.
This new Internet connection is the first of two major upgrades and improvements that we are making to our Internet bandwidth. The campus bandwidth will be increased from 155 MBps up to 200 MBps, which should significantly improve our ability to meet the increasing demand for Internet bandwidth. In the very near future, we will be adding an additional 155 MBps of bandwidth to the campus, increasing the available bandwidth up to 355 MBps, which is more than double the Internet bandwidth that we currently have. This second upgrade will also bring redundancy to our Internet connection, which will further improve the reliability and availability of network and Internet services for our campus.
If you have any questions, please contact the ASU Computing Services Help Desk directly at 719-587-7741 or via email at computingservices@adams.edu. We apologize for any inconvenience that this outage may cause, but we are extremely pleased to be making strides in improving the overall Internet connection and experience for all of our customers.
Thank you,
Computing Services
