Slow Network Performance – Emergency Network Maintenance @ 4:00p.m. – 4:10p.m.

FAU has been informed by our ISP about extremely high traffic load due to the recent release of Apple iOS 7. FAU has noticed a 2-3x increase in traffic load occurring around noon. Due to the increased load, many services including the Wireless network, Banner, MyFAU, Exchange, Echo360, Blackboard, and streaming media are experiencing significantly degraded performance.  OIT is preparing to implement an emergency change to relieve the performance issues at 4:00 p.m. today.  At 4:00p.m., the FAU wireless network will have a short period of downtime with a potential disruption of other services within FAU.

[resolved] Boca domain controllers and Exchange mail unavailable

**Update – 11:50PM – The domain controllers (and Exchange mail) have returned to service

At approximately 11:10 we experienced a failure of both Boca Domain Controllers. As a result, email sent to and from Exchange users may be delayed. Additionally, some applications which are configured to only use bocdcfau01 and bocdcfau02 may be experiencing issues. We are working to resolve the issue ASAP.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

Systems
