As indicated in the email sent to all Sheridan staff on September 15, during the upcoming Thanksgiving Weekend (October 10-13), Facilities Management will be replacing the electrical transfer switch that feeds power to the Trafalgar campus data centre. This will require a complete shutdown of the equipment in the data centre while the electrical work is being performed. Consequently, many IT services will be unavailable during the upgrade period. Below is a rundown of the timelines associated with this work.
Friday, October 10 starting at 6 pm:
- IT begins shutting down services hosted in the Trafalgar data centre
Friday overnight into Saturday morning:
- Facilities Management and their contractor replace the electrical equipment
Saturday, October 11 – afternoon into the night:
- IT will start bringing up the data centre network, storage, server, and virtualization infrastructure
Sunday, October 12:
- IT will be bringing up applications and services
Monday, October 13:
- Testing and remediation of any discovered issues
