ITS System Announcements

As part of the ongoing campus wide electrical system upgrade project the Central Power Plant will be shutdown from 3:30 AM to 6:00 AM on Tuesday, October 6, 2009. The result is that there will be no steam available during this shutdown. This means that heat and hot water campus wide, with the exception of wood frame buildings, and steam used in the sciences and at Usdan will be interrupted. If you have questions or concerns regarding this outage, please contact Alan Rubacha at extension 3746, or arubacha@wesleyan.edu. There will be no impact to electrical power or lighting in any buildings other than the power plant.

We are currently experiencing difficulties with the phone system. Several phones are out of service. It is being worked on and we hope to have it resolved shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We have been able to localize the WesFiles troubles and have been working with the vendor on the final resolution. In the meantime, the system has been stabilized and has been up consistently for 2 days. We do not anticipate further outages. Of course, if anything changes, we will notify you.

We have been experiencing intermittent performance issues with Wesfiles since Saturday 9/12. Users are occasionally having problems logging in and/or losing their Xythos driving mapping. We are pursuing the issue with the vendor to get it resolved. When users are connected, Wesfiles is performing as expected and files can be uploaded and downloaded. We will continue to keep you posted as we get this issue resolved.

On Friday, Aug 28, at 6 AM, we are performing maintenance on our telephone system. We do not expect an interruption in service. If you have any trouble, please contact Pat Donohue at WesTel at ext. 2022.

Blackboard will be unavailable Thursday August 13th from 5-7 AM in order to perform a database backup.
