Maintenance Notification: November 2, 2014 from 6 AM to 8 AM

On Sunday, November 2, 2014, between 6 A.M. and 8 A.M., NJVID staff will be involved in extending the NJVID service infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and perform server configuration changes, DNS migrations and other work related to this extension.

This move to AWS for certain services will provide NJVID technical staff the ability to quickly scale up the service and provide agility to our infrastructure especially since our service and storage demand has seen a phenomenal increase in usage. We are confident that the AWS platform coupled with the NJEDge infrastructure will provide greater processing power, high availability, offer scalability on demand and will ultimately provide a superior end user experience.

Please note that during this time window, the NJVID service may be impacted in part or in full. In the event this maintenance activity does impact service, the possible outage duration should not exceed 30 minutes.

Please feel free to send an email to support@njvid.net if you have any questions regarding this email.

regards,
NJVID Staff
