This service interruption is needed to replace an older data storage/server subsystem, which is going end of life, with a new database subsystem (Exadata from Oracle). This new subsystem will help handle the growing data storage demands of our system, improve performance, and help to ensure smooth semester startups.
Applications that will be affected include:
- ISRS
- eServices
- DARS
- u.select
- REPL
- Warehouse
- BRIO
- APPS
- www.mnscu.edu webpages
- Campus applications that touch ISRS
Locally-maintained campus applications will not be affected by the outage, unless they require access to ISRS.
