The planned maintenance for all OhioLINK services has been completed. All services are up and running as of 12pm today. Our sincere thanks goes to the OH-TECH team members that were working hard overnight to get the servers moved and back up.
As always, please refer to the Problem Report Form on our website to report any issues.
All OH-TECH organizations – including OhioLINK – are moving to a new data center. The new location at the State of Ohio Computing Center will provide us with a near-Tier 4 data center that can deliver a higher grade of services and achieve greater efficiencies.
We have worked hard to schedule this move so as to minimize the disruption to OhioLINK end users. However, it is necessary to schedule one maintenance window which will involve a significant outage of all OhioLINK hosted services.
