We have been alerted to possible PG&E power outages due to fire danger, and that campus power may be shutdown at some point over the next 2-3 days. If we receive notice of imminent shutdown, we will work to safely shutdown our NetApp fileserver and other critical infrastructure systems; this may occur on very short notice.
We will endeavor to update this News item as we receive any updates.
