Scheduled
Network connectivity at the University’s Bradford and Titusville campuses will be briefly unavailable for up to a few minutes while Pitt Information Technology performs a network firewall upgrade on Wednesday, July 24, from 10 to 11:59 p.m.

Pitt IT coordinated the upgrade in consultation with our regional campus contacts, who have communicated maintenance details to their stakeholders. Checks have been completed to ensure that the system is ready for the upgrade. Pitt IT will be monitoring services and actively engaged with the vendor (Palo Alto) throughout the upgrade. Should any unexpected issues occur, rollback procedures are in place to ensure continuation of all systems and updates will be provided at status.pitt.edu.

Pitt IT has scheduled this maintenance as part of its ongoing initiative to replace network firewalls on all campuses with next-generation firewalls to enhance performance, strengthen security, and realize cost savings for the University.

Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk at +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you have any questions regarding this maintenance. This effort is being led by Lou Passarello, Pitt IT’s director of operations.
