Network Refresh Programme

Began: Duration:

The work is underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

We are in the final stages of our network refresh programme this year to upgrade critical infrastructure on campus. This includes hardware that manages the flow of traffic on the network, most of which is managed on "Wedges" in various buildings. We will be upgrading some equipment across campus in the mornings of this week, planned start 7.30am - complete about 9am.

There will be no downtime for any systems or the network, and we do not expect there to be any impact on users - there haven't been on other upgrades we have completed in the last week, but engineers will be on site if there are any issues.
