[IGSMAIL-6579] New CDDIS servers coming online - May 09, 2012

[Carey Noll]

Author: Carey Noll/CDDIS

The CDDIS archive will be unavailable on May 09 starting at 08:00 
EST (12:00 UTC) for approximately 10 hours (however, as we all 
know, unforeseen problems could cause a longer outage). At that 
time, the system will be shut down in preparation for operations 
to transition to our new systems. When the new systems are 
operational, users will continue to access host cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov 
through anonymous ftp and http and see the same archive structure. 
Groups who submit data and products to CDDIS will also continue to 
push files to the same host, cddisin.gsfc.nasa.gov. We expect to
bring up systems at different times. We plan to be able to accept 
files pushed to host cddisin.gsfc.nasa.gov relatively quickly; 
however processing of these files to the archive will not be 
performed until all services are operational.

While the CDDIS is offline, users can access one of the other data 
centers supporting the services:

IGS: http://www.igscb.org/organization/centers.html
ILRS: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/products_formats_procedures/data_centers.html
IVS: http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/org/components/dc-list.html
IDS: http://ids-doris.org/data-products/info.html

We hope for a smooth transition to our new computer systems on May 09.
We will keep you posted as we implement the new systems and when our
systems are able to accept files and to retrieve files from the archive. 
Please contact me if you have any questions.

Regards,
Carey.
