Investigating - Pitt Digital is aware that some individuals who use T-Mobile as their cellular network provider are receiving a warning message when dialing the University’s Technology Help Desk at +1 412 624-HELP (4357). The message advises callers that the number they are calling may be associated with a scam.

Pitt Digital is working with our vendor partners to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, T-Mobile customers who receive the message can simply stay on the line for a few additional seconds to be connected directly to the Technology Help Desk.

Updates will be posted to status.pitt.edu as more information becomes available.

MyResNet (Resident Wi-Fi) service will be intermittently unavailable for up to fifteen minutes in rolling locations on the Pittsburgh campus between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 29.

Boldyn Networks — Pitt Digital’s partner and vendor for MyResNet — has scheduled this maintenance period to perform necessary upgrades that will help to ensure the continued reliability and performance of the service. The maintenance period was scheduled during winter recess to minimize disruption to the Pitt community.

Please call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) or submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk should you experience any Wi-Fi issues outside of this window.

PRISM Unavailable Late Saturday, Jan. 3 During Maintenance Jan 3, 2026 23:00 - Jan 4, 2026 00:00 EST

PRISM, the University of Pittsburgh’s enterprise financial system, will be unavailable on Saturday, Jan.3 from 11 p.m. until midnight while the vendor (OATC) implements the 2026 license key update.

Users should complete all transactions (including printing) and exit the system before 11 p.m. on Jan. 3, as incomplete transactions will be terminated without notice when the system goes offline.

The maintenance period was scheduled by Pitt Digital in consultation with Financial Operations and the Office of the Controller.

This maintenance is part of vendor-recommended best practices to ensure high levels of availability, secure work environments, and continued reliability and stability of critical systems. Pitt Digital will monitor progress, and in the unlikely event an issue or problem arises, the system will be reverted to its original configuration and an update will be posted to https://status.pitt.edu. The system will be returned to service earlier if the maintenance work is completed ahead of schedule.

Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk at https://digital.pitt.edu/helprequest or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience any issues or have questions related to this maintenance. This effort is being led by Bill Rupp of Pitt Digital.

Jan. 7 Maintenance Supports Faster, Lower-Cost Enterprise Data Storage Jan 7, 2026 06:00-11:00 EST

Pitt Digital has upgraded the Enterprise Data Storage (Dell Isilon) service to provide University customers with faster performance at half the cost. Maintenance on Jan. 7 to support the upgrade may result in very brief service interruptions.

The upgraded Enterprise Data Storage service — used by some Pitt schools and departments to host unstructured data such as file system data, audio, video, and business applications — leverages an all-flash solution that delivers much faster performance when moving, copying, or interacting with data.

The upgrade also delivers efficiencies that enable Pitt Digital to reduce the cost for the service from $360 per TB per year to $175 per TB per year. Schools and departments will see these cost reductions reflected in their Feb. 2026 bill.

The migration of departments to the upgraded service is already complete and has been seamless. Additional network maintenance required to support the upgrade has been scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 7, and may result in very brief interruptions in Enterprise Data Storage connectivity between 6 and 11 a.m. This maintenance was scheduled before the start of spring term to minimize disruption to the Pitt community. Enterprise Data Storage service customers do not need to take any action before or after Jan. 7.

Please call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) or submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk if you have questions or need assistance with Enterprise Data Storage.

This maintenance is part of our efforts to modernize the campus network and ensure continued security, stability, and reliability. This maintenance period was scheduled before the start of spring term to minimize impact on the University community.
