San Mateo Data Center Planned Site Maintenance Outage Will Impact USPS and USPIS Environments

The San Mateo, California, IT/ASC Data Center and all associated applications, including all e-mail mailboxes res­ident in San Mateo as well as Blackberry mailboxes, will be down for infrastructure maintenance beginning Saturday October 10, 2009, at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Time and ending Sunday October 11 at 11:59 p.m. (CR #158668). Users affected by this outage should log out of all applications prior to Saturday evening. All e-mail users affected by this maintenance outage have received a message from an e–mail administrator.

All affected production applications should be up and available by the end of this maintenance window. This complete site outage will accommodate a multimillion dol­lar infrastructure upgrade to our uninterruptible power supply and battery backup systems, improving our ability to handle power events from our service provider. This reli­ability upgrade will naturally reduce the number of unplanned center outages in the future.
