Network outage on Friday, February 21, 2014 from 6:15 AM to 7:50 AM

Posted on February 21, 2014 by michael
On Friday, February 21, 2014, at 6:15 AM, CCS replaced the existing Internet facing firewall with a newer and much faster firewall. This caused an outage for the incoming and outgoing Internet traffic such as access to email and to Ryerson’s web server. The new firewall became operational at 7:50 AM. Email messages that were sent or received between 6:15 AM and 7:50 AM were queued for delivery and it may take a few hours before they showing up on users’ mailboxes.

Please accept our apologies for the outage.
