Thanks for this weekend
Over the weekend, OIT successfully completed our first change window in stabilizing the load balancer. On Sunday, we cleaned up the global policy and simplified the configuration, successfully tested updates through the administrative interface, and confirmed its functionality. OIT will continue monitoring the state of the ACE load balancer environment over the next few days, and Cisco (the vendor) will be on hand to assist if any issues or questions arise.
The work team included staff from different parts of OIT, including systems administration, networking, and software administration, making this a great example of "One OIT." Thank you to the entire team (Phil Lindberg, Mike Faust, Tom Kunz, Dack Anderson, Patton Fast, Thom Callahan) on a job well done! Not only have they made a significant and measurable step forward having completed the change as planned, but did it well within the change window time frame (advertised as 5:00am to noon, but the team finished around 9:00am.) We appreciate everyone's continued efforts on this improvement project.
