Around 5:15 PM this afternoon, CCS received various reports of connectivity issues when trying to reach external websites, including Google Apps, from within the Ryerson network. The problem cleared itself after a few minutes. Preliminary investigation indicates that a primary firewall failed over to a backup firewall appliance at about the same time the problems where reported, but further investigation will be carried out to confirm the root cause of the problem.
Please accept our apologies for the problems this outage has caused.
