iSolutions have developed a new, significantly improved service for secure storage of your documents and data on University computers and systems. To minimise disruption to staff and students, they plan to implement this system on the weekend of 1-2 September.
This will still affect any colleagues or students who were planning to work during this weekend. Please prepare in advance so this does not prevent you from working.
It is essential that you:
- Copy any documents you could need that weekend onto a memory stick
- Allow extra time to get your work done that weekend on a university desktop or laptop, or arrange to work on an alternative computer, as university PCs and laptops may provide reduced performance (slow response etc).
Please also be aware that:
- Arrangements have been made to ensure that equipment in Common Learning Spaces and Lecture Theatres will still be performing normally, although there will be no access to your files
- The Subscribe service will not be available
- The SSH Gateway service will not be available
All staff should restart their university PCs and laptops on Monday 3 September 2012 to ensure access to all services.
