SAIT schedule for holiday break 2011

All Student Affairs staff,

The holiday season is nearing and we in Student Affairs Information Technology (SAIT) wish each of you a happy and safe holiday season.

In preparation for possible power outages over break, we are asking you to power off your workstation and any printers or copiers in your work area along with UPS and power backups before you leave for break. If there are staff members that have already departed for break, please turn off their equipment if possible. In addition, please lock up or take laptops and portable devices home.

SAIT will be performing maintenance on the Division’s IT infrastructure on Friday, December 23, 2011 and Tuesday, December 27, 2011. During those days, all IT services may experience intermittent outages. Please do not plan any work that requires access to IT services.

Our holiday schedule will begin at 5:00 PM on Thursday, December 22, 2011 and end at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 with the exception of the above statement. Our emergency contact number during the holiday break is 865-7210 (no change from normal operations).

Status updates concerning these outages can be read on our blog at http://studentaffairsblogs.psu.edu/technology. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact our office at 865-7210 or help@sa.psu.edu.

Thank you,

During the migration, all web sites will be unavailable. This is to allow SAIT to fully test each web site and web application. During the day as each web site becomes available, updates will be posted to our blog at http://studentaffairsblogs.psu.edu/technology.

In order to prepare for this large web site migration, we are setting up a timeframe when web content changes will not be migrated. Therefore, all web content changes after 5pm Thursday will not be migrated. Web content changes can be made after we have posted the completion of our migration on our blog identified above.

If you have further questions or concerns, please contact our office at 814-865-7210 or help@sa.psu.edu.

Moving files from SAS11

Student Affairs Information Technology (SAIT) is moving files to the new virtual File Server this week. Each unit is being individually contacted to schedule this important move. The new storage technology will give staff 20 times the storage capacity that it previously had. This is good news for staff and we thank you for being so patient during this important project.
