iSIS Outage – July 2014 (L. Wilson)

The outage was caused by data storage issues. Those have been identified and new back-up procedures are being implemented. There is daily monitoring and reporting of back-ups. Weekly meetings with IT staff. iSIS was down to the public for several days in July while administrative staff recovered as much of the data as could be identified. Thank you to all staff that worked through the weekend so iSIS could be open again on July 21^st. Communications to students and other iSIS users will continue as the fall semester begins.
$5M hardware purchase was approved in early July. This will be a process of the next year to move old hardware to the new hardware.
