Although no service disruptions are anticipated, Pitt IT encourages you to report any issues to the Technology Help Desk at +1-412-624-HELP (4357).
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 also in place to ensure continuation of all systems. In the event of a service disruption, updates will be provided at status.pitt.edu.
