UPDATED:

In addition to the previously announced Alliance network downtime, we will be upgrading the ADR hardware at the same time.  Consequently all ADR 2.0 production and sandbox instances will be unavailable from 5:30pm until approximately 7:30pm on September 2^nd 2010.  These upgrades should improve the performance of all ADR 2.0 instances.

===Original message===

On Thursday September 2^nd 2010 the Alliance will be replacing some network equipment.  This will necessitate that all Alliance services with the exception of the ADR be offline.  We plan on starting this work at 5:00pm and anticipate the downtime to be several hours in length.

Effected services include:

Alliance Website

Colorado School of Mines Voyager system

Prospector/Encore
