Information Technology will be conducting maintenance on various components of the IT infrastructure over the weekend of 19 February and some downtime can be expected.
Quarterly, scheduled maintenance will be taking place from Friday, 19 February at 17:00 to Monday, 22 February at 08:00. Various IT services and systems are affected by this and can become unavailable, partly or entirely.
During the maintenance weekend the current outdated firewall which provided access to off-campus internet will be upgraded to new technology. This will result in estimated internet downtime from Saturday, 20 February at 10:00 to Sunday, 21 Feb 2021 at 12:00.
Due to the extent of this maintenance and the necessity for thorough testing of systems and services the possibility exists that some interruptions might occur into Monday.
Please rest assured that we will try our best to limit interruptions to a minimum. For inquiries please log a request on the ICT Partner Portal.

Informasietegnologie sal gedurende die naweek van 19 Februarie onderhoud uitvoer op verskillende komponente van die IT infrastruktuur. Gevolglik sal daar tye wees wanneer stelsels nie beskikbaar is nie.
Kwartaallikse, geskeduleerde onderhoud vind plaas vanaf 17:00 Vrydag, 19 Februarie tot 08:00 Maandag, 22 Februarie. Verskeie IT dienste en stelsels word hierdeur geraak en kan gedeeltelik of in geheel nie beskikbaar wees nie.
Gedurende die onderhoudnaweek sal die huidige, verouderde firewall, wat tot op hede toegang tot internet buite kampus gebied het, opgegradeer word. Die opgradering sal lei tot beraamde internet onbeskikbaarheid vanaf Saterdag, 20 Februarie 2021 om 10:00 tot Sondag, 21 Feb 2021 om 12:00.
Weens die omvangryke onderhoud en die noodsaaklikheid vir deeglike toetsing van stelsels en dienste kan onderbrekings Maandag ook voortduur.
Wees verseker dat ons alles binne ons vermoë sal doen om onderbrekings tot die minimum te beperk. Vir navrae meld ʼn versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal.
