All buildings will experience a brief (20 minute) network service<br \/>\ninterruption when their network fiber cable(s) are migrated, but this will occur<br \/>\n*after normal business hours* and should not impact work or classes.<br \/>\n2. A very small number of buildings may require an extended network<br \/>\nservice interruption. Users in those locations will be notified in advance<br \/>\nand we will try to schedule any interruptions for summer Fridays or<br \/>\nweekends to minimize user impact.<br \/>\n3. The migration schedule for July is attached. An online version will<br \/>\nbe maintained on the IT web site (www.montclair.edu\/information-technology)<br \/>\nunder News and Events to track progress through the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Additional details:<\/p>\n<p>The migration involves physically re-routing hundreds of underground<br \/>\nfiber optic and copper cabling from buildings around campus into the new<br \/>\nCollege Hall location. For most buildings IT will avoid network outages<br \/>\nby utilizing alternate conduit pathways during the cable migration<br \/>\nprocess. These buildings will experience only a brief 20-minute<br \/>\ninterruption of service after normal business hours to make final<br \/>\nconnections.<\/p>\n<p>In the few cases where an alternate pathway cannot be used, network and<br \/>\nIP telephone services may need to be disconnected while cable is<br \/>\nphysically re-routed into the new location in College Hall. IT will<br \/>\nnotify occupants of those buildings at least 2 weeks in advance and will<br \/>\nminimize potential impact by scheduling the outages during summer<br \/>\nFridays and on weekends where possible. IT is also using 25Live as the<br \/>\nsource of information for special events scheduled on campus and will<br \/>\ncoordinate any planned outages around these events.<\/p>\n<p>There is always the possibility, although unlikely, that the team could<br \/>\nencounter a surprise during cable re-routing and introduce an unplanned<br \/>\nnetwork service interruption. In that unlikely event, IT expects to be<br \/>\nable to restore services within one hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To Our Campus Community &#8211; Information Technology will be migrating to our new network operations center in College Hall between now and January 2020.
