On Monday night, OCIO will replace the ASCTech server room SonicWall
firewall with OCIO’s standard firewall. It is a substantially faster
firewall, with lower latency and higher bandwidth. Unfortunately,
their first two attempts, back in July, ran into problems and they
had to roll back. The change will produce an expected outage of up
to one hour, affecting all of our VPN, file, print, and web
services. We are allocating a maintenance window from 8PM until
midnight to allow for debugging unexpected difficulties. Operations’
Infrastructure team will be running tests, so we should notice
issues quickly. If you notice any problems that persist beyond the
8:00 PM to midnight window, please submit a ticket via email to <a
