On December 31, 2024, GSI will upgrade its cloud resource subscriptions inside Microsoft Azure to enable enhanced engineering and configuration support from cloud solution provider One Neck.

We anticipate this migration process will result in brief downtime between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM EST on December 31.  Users are advised to avoid accessing GSI systems during this window.

Impacted Systems

The migration process will impact all GSI systems and storage accounts, including Secure UDS (SUDS), the UDS Data Mapper, and websites hosted by GSI for NCIGF members. We anticipate a total downtime of no more than 90 minutes.

Domain Name System (DNS) Changes

This change will include updates to public DNS records for GSI-hosted websites, the UDS Data Mapper, and all other public-facing services hosted within our infrastructure.

Complete propagation of changes throughout the global DNS system can take several hours and is outside our control.

These changes may impact any existing automated connections to our services, so please adjust accordingly.

Action Needed

If your organization maintains whitelisted IP addresses for GSI resources or otherwise relies on GSI-specific IP addresses, please let us know so that we can help ensure minimal interruptions in service availability.

More Information

This migration has been scheduled for a day/time of historically minimal activity for GSI systems. If your organization has a critical need to access GSI systems during this window that cannot be avoided, please contact GSI immediately to discuss.
