Attention UVic community! We've got an important update regarding recent system disruptions. A power outage has caused some technical services to go offline, but fear not, we're working tirelessly to get everything back up and running!
As of 3:00 p.m. on January 17th, our dedicated University Systems team has made significant progress. The wired and wireless networks are now functioning smoothly, and it's worth noting that M365, Email, and BrightSpace have remained unaffected by this issue. However, here's where it gets controversial... some systems and services may not be fully restored until later this evening. We understand the impact this can have on your work and studies, and we're doing our best to expedite the process.
Our team is working hand-in-hand with Facilities Management to ensure a swift resolution. While we aim to minimize disruptions, we want to be transparent: certain services might take a bit longer to come back online. But we promise to keep you informed every step of the way.
As of 1:00 p.m. on January 17th, the unexpected power outage in the data centre has affected various technical services, including Banner and FAST. Rest assured, our teams are collaborating closely to restore all services as quickly as possible.
