To prevent an event similar to what occurred 8/13/14, ITS has made some changes to improve service failover. We will be testing to verify those changes are successful on 10/9/14 between 5:00AM and 7:00AM. There will be brief outages as devices are failed over. Upon successful completion of the failover the devices will be upgraded also.

The Internet should remain available throughout the test. Some internal sites may be unavailable such as MyDenison.
