On Tuesday, May 21, 2019, a new Internet connection for Vanderbilt University Medical Center will go into service. Currently, the Medical Center shares an Internet connection with Vanderbilt University. This activity is part of continuing efforts to establish an independent information technology infrastructure for Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
This project allows the Medical Center to:
· Establish an independent appropriate network
· Improve organizational cybersecurity
· Better facilitate IT changes and upgrades
How will this project affect you?
Some network services will experience brief downtimes as network traffic redirects from the existing connection with the University to the new VUMC Internet connection beginning at 10:00 p.m. on May 21st. Network services include connections to computer equipment, printers, wireless connections, devices, and some phones. Find out more: How will the Data Network Separation affect me?
