AGIIS Data Center Migration Impacts Annual Maintenance Activities

By Chris Crutchfield, AGIIS Product Manager

Normally, my December AGIIS Update would be all about AGIIS annual maintenance activities, providing the dates and descriptions for each planned activity over two weekends in December. This year is different. With the approval from the Directory Oversight Committee, annual maintenance will be delayed until late January due to the AGIIS Data Center migration to Microsoft Azure. The current data center in Tulsa, Oklahoma is closing, and operations are being migrated to another cloud offering. The migration is scheduled to be complete by December 15.

We’ve begun communicating the migration with subscribers and have provided new IP addresses resulting from the migration. Subscribers may need to update their internal systems if they’ve hard coded IP addresses and may also need to update their firewall settings. If you missed this communication, please contact Member Services.

Because of the migration and support required to execute it, AGIIS annual maintenance will be performed over two weekends in January, the 20th and 27th. As we get closer to these dates, subscribers can expect additional communications around these activities. If you have any questions regarding the migration or annual maintenance activities, please contact Member Services.
