[Service Alert – Resolved] Major issue affecting our IT network this morning

Filed under: Network, [Resolved], [Service Alert] — Dan Jolly @ 11:11 am

Due to a major issue affecting our network early this morning, many of our services were unavailable from around 3am to 10am. This issue affected services that require you to sign into, for example Moodle, FASER, Webmail, Zoom, VPN and some corporate systems.

Our Networks Team were on site early this morning to investigate and have now resolved the issue – all services are fully restored, and we will continue to monitor these.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you in accessing our services this morning.

If you’re still experiencing any issues, please let the IT Helpdesk know.

We will continue to provide further updates on our service status page.

Thank you for your patience whilst we resolved these issues this morning.
