IGIS servers migrating to new data center week of Jan. 22

Some websites and services may be disrupted

The Informatics and Geographic Information System Program is pleased to share that beginning Jan. 22, its servers will be migrating to the new data center near Sacramento. As part of the move, our equipment is being upgraded to more stable and secure platforms. This initiative is a continuation of the UCANR systems upgrade that has been in the works for months and was initiated in December of last year.

The goal is to further optimize our infrastructure to provide you with improved services and performance. We are tremendously grateful and applaud the hard work of the Information Technology team and the vision of Sree Mada, our chief information officer, for spearheading this change.

The process is expected to take a week. Unfortunately, many of the websites and mapping services that IGIS hosts will be offline during this period. Impacted sites and services include:

• IGIS Website (custom scripts, content, and styles)
• Alameda County SALC Planning Decision Support Tool, Agricultural Resiliency Project, (ACARP) Alameda County RCD
• ANR Footprint App
• ArcGIS workshop license server
• Asian Citrus Psyllid monitoring web app
• Backyard Poultry Survey (UC Davis Vet Med, English and Spanish versions)
• CalAgroClimate
• California Heartbeat Initiative drone data repository, Natural Reserve System
• Climate Stewards Partners web app
• Coyote Cacher
• Degree Day API
• Oak Encroachment web app (Humboldt and Del Norte Counties)
• Parcel Prioritization Tool (Altamont Open Space Advisory Committee, Alameda County)
• San Diego County Agritourism web app
• UCANR Personnel Explorer (web app of Academics and Staff) 
• UCANR REC Tour web app

We apologize for this temporary disruption. Rest assured our team is dedicated to minimizing any disruptions and ensuring a smooth transition. For any questions or concerns, please contact IGIS Service Center Head Shane Feirer at stfeirer@ucanr.edu.
