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:
- Active Directory
- Ceph Storage
- Computational Research Systems
- Computational Teaching Systems
- Exterity IPTV management console
- Networks Esxi
- Oracle Zones
- Physics Research Group Server
- Synergy (Course Costing)
- 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.
