Advisory: Internet Outage Friday, July 31
VALDOSTA - Valdosta State University experienced an Internet
outage beginning at approximately 11 a.m. Friday, July 31, due to a
service disruption on the PeachNet fiber link that connects the
campus to the statewide network.
Crews from Georgia Public Web responded to the disruption, which
occurred between Tifton and Valdosta, and expected the repairs to
be complete within 8-12 hours.
During outages such as this one, on-campus users cannot access
off-campus resources, including the Internet, PeopleSoft, ADP,
GeorgiaView, GIL and Galileo. Off-campus users cannot access
on-campus resources, include the VSU Web site, e-mail and
BlazeVIEW/WebCT/Vista; however, no data should be lost and e-mail
should be queued for delayed delivery once service is
restored.
