    OIT, in collaboration with the IT Leaders of our schools and colleges, will be simulating a data center outage to test, verify and remediate our planned failover capabilities. Planned failover testing of the North Classroom Data Center is on Sunday, July 30th. This is an estimated 8-hour testing window from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm to evaluate system backup processes and remediate any issues that present. To test these processes, we will be simulating a network outage, but no power or devices will actually be turned off.

Important Update from Zoom – No Mandatory Requirements beginning September 27

Sep 23, 2020

Last month, OIT shared that software vendor Zoom planned to require security features - including a waiting room or passcode - for all new and existing faculty, student and staff meetings. On Sunday, September 20, Zoom shifted the decision to require these features based on feedback they received from customers. Per Zoom, they “will no longer be enforcing a mandatory security requirement for your account on September 27, 2020, or at any point thereafter.”

If you would like to learn more about enabling certain Zoom features or tutorials on how to use Zoom, please visit the Zoom Support page. In addition, OIT has more information about using Zoom, how-to and best practices, remote working collaboration tools, and key cybersecurity safeguards on the OIT website.
