UMD ITSS Announcements Page

 The goal for production services within ITSS Services is to provide
 highly reliable equipment and services, to minimize down-time, and to
 make repairs and adjustments at hours that will affect the lowest
 number of customers. Equally important is to keep our customer base
 well informed about the status of our equipment and services, and to
 provide as much advanced warning as possible for service outages. This
 web page serves as one of the major ways we keep our customer base
 informed.
