    Please be advised that one or more services in the Regulated (ReD) Environment will be unavailable Monday, 11/17/2025 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.

    We may adjust this list as the feasibility of each item is ironed out within the next several days.

    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 Monday, 12/1/2025.

    Thank you for the opportunity to serve your regulated research computing needs.

    Respectfully,

    The Regulated Data Team
