Important updates for users of the Secure Research Service (SRS)

Advance warning of SRS downtime for essential maintenance

To further support the ongoing improvement of the SRS infrastructure, major server upgrade work will be carried out on the SRS in early October 2023.

Please be advised that due to the complexity of the upgrade, the SRS will be out of service for two days.

The downtime is currently planned for Thursday 5 October and Friday 6 October, and on these days the SRS will be unavailable to all users with no analysis or other sessions possible.

Further information will be provided nearer the time; however, this message serves as advance notice to ensure all researchers are aware of this planned downtime.

If you have any questions, please contact SRS Customer Support.

These changes will take effect from Monday 4 September.
