Hello,

To prepare for the upcoming year, we will be taking a one week downtime of
ATLAS Connect starting Monday, December 19th through Monday, December 26th.

We aim to accomplish two major service upgrades:
- Update of Faxbox to the latest long-term support release of Ceph (0.94.x ->
10.2.x)
- Migration of all home directories to a newer, faster array (40TB)

In addition to the service upgrades above, we will use the downtime to test
and benchmark all Connect services and update system software.
During this time, all Connect services will be down and users will not be
able to log in.

Most importantly, please backup any critical data on Faxbox.

Once the downtime has been completed or needs to be extended, we will let you
know. As always, please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely
The ATLAS Connect Support Team
