Maintenance & Outages
It is necessary to keep our IT systems well-maintained so that they function dependably and securely. Every maintenance situation is different depending on what needs to be done and what systems are being affecting. Maintenance might (or might not) cause an outage in service.
Outages come in two varieties - planned and unplanned. A planned outage will be announced ahead of time and usually means some sort of maintenance is taking place. Despite our best efforts to keep all our systems running continuously, there will sometimes be a system failure, which may result in an unplanned outage.
