On Saturday, September 17, 2022, from 8 am to midnight, MSU IT will replace multiple obsolete servers to maintain performance and security standards, resulting in a temporary downtime of several MSU applications. During this time, users may notice a disruption in accessing applications, but saved data will be unaffected.
The outdated servers host many important applications used by the entire MSU community, so it’s critical to ensure they are properly maintained. Like all technology, servers eventually reach a point when they become outdated and require updating or replacing. In this case, they must be replaced to avoid technical issues that have an impact on cybersecurity, stability, and functionality.
Due to the complexity of this project, it is impossible to anticipate every impacted application or the extent to which they will be impacted. As such, our team is performing the maintenance during a time of low demand to minimize potential impact.
No disruptions are expected outside of the timeframe above; however, if you experience technical problems outside of the maintenance window or have questions, please contact the MSU IT Service Desk at 517-432-6200.
