UAF IT outage coming in May 2023

In May 2023, contractors will install a new battery backup system in the Butrovich Building that serves the Butrovich Data Center. The new unit replaces a 25-year-old system that has aged out and become less reliable. The backup battery provides the data center with continuous power during an outage of the UAF power grid and with the new system in place, the project will substantially increase the center's reliability, resiliency, and up-time to support critical functions, academics, and business continuity.
