Good afternoon TU,

First, thank you for your patience with our team this past week. We are rapidly responding to all changes and demands. As we clean up legacy technology hardware over the next week, we will be unplugging unidentified hardware in our data center to support a streamlined, highly efficient, remote TU campus. If this causes interruption, it will be brief, it will be communicated, and services will be restored immediately. When in doubt, wait five minutes and/or reboot.
