Please be advised that the Regulated (ReD) Environment will be unavailable today Monday, October 6, 2025 from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET due to scheduled maintenance activities. During this time, we will:
· perform important OS updates to shared infrastructure servers,
· rebuild and redeploy scientific software containers,
· update the reference operating system for the Linux cluster compute nodes,
· publish updated software stacks for Research & Engineering Studio (RES) Linux and Windows VDI sessions, and
· apply network changes to address excessive lag in authentication to Linux systems.
Following our advertised policy, we will also terminate any VDI session (Linux or Windows) older than 1 month.
Please note that any data stored locally on ephemeral storage on VDI sessions or on old VDI sessions that will be terminated, will be lost.
As a reminder, regularly scheduled maintenance for the Regulated (RED) environment occurs on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. Our next scheduled maintenance is thus October 20th.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your regulated research computing needs.
Respectfully,
The Regulated Data Team
