The computing that drives the IEM website and processing is spread over two locations at Iowa State University. The location within Agronomy Hall houses a small fraction of the processing, but most of the long term archived data not stored within a database.

ISU Facilities folks have a power maintenance window scheduled between 7 and 9 AM on 23 July 2024 for Agronomy Hall, but they are not sure which exact rooms in the building will not have power during this time. So the IEM website could go into a bit of degraded state when/if this happens, but most services should remain healthy. Will update this news item during the maintenance window with any updates.

Thanks for your patience.

Updated 7 AM: Still do not have clarity if the server room is about to loose power or not, but am watching closely!

Updated 9 AM: Still have power, but continue to be unsure what is happening. Will update this news item once I learn more.

Updated sometime later: This remains a mystery, but no harm no foul I guess.
