Description
On Saturday, May 18, the Technology Learning Center’s data center, and all equipment inside it, will run on backup power for approximately 11 hours from 6 am to 5 pm while electrical upgrades are made to support third-party wireless services on campus. While all services in the data center will run on backup power during the install, there will be an elevated risk of power interruptions which could result in network outages (see Affected Services below).

If the backup powers fails, there could be network performance issues experienced on the main campus as described below.
