Hi Everyone,
I am writing to provide an update on our data center migration. As of this morning, we have finished routing all remaining subnets through the new data center. This gives us full control over our network configuration and eliminates the need for further coordination with LinkOregon regarding subnet subdivision.
To date, we have successfully moved over 180 systems, with approximately 70 remaining. We anticipate completing the entire move by around March 11th.
Please note that OSU plans to begin removing UPS units and racks in April. If you have co-located equipment and have not yet received a specific email from us, please contact me immediately. For those migrating from co-located equipment to our virtualization environment, all work must be completed by March 30th, at which point we will shut down the network at the old data center.
This migration has required unplanned expenditures for additional networking hardware, power and network cabling, cable management, and temporary connections to LinkOregon. We have launched a fundraising campaign to help cover these costs. If you are able to contribute, please visit: https://www.beavsgive.org/organizations/open-source-lab
Thank you for your continued support!
Thanks-
