We will be carrying out planned network migration work across our data centres from 31 March to 2 April, moving a number of systems onto new network infrastructure.

A maintenance window will take place each day between 09:00 and 11:00, during which there may be brief interruptions to some services. No downtime is expected outside this window.

Services that may be briefly affected include:
- Aruba ClearPass
- Canteen Services
- Computational Teaching Systems
- DRAX AMX
- Network ESXi
- Network Management
- ONELAN
- Oracle Servers
- Physics Research Group Services
- Security Video Recording
- Synology
- VMware

This work is part of ongoing improvements to enhance network security, resilience, and performance. We will monitor services throughout the migration and take action if any issues arise.
