Dear members of the Puget Sound community,

Technology Services (TS) has planned the following maintenance activities. Details on the maintenance being performed are available below:

Medial: Planned Maintenance

Thursday, February 5 | 7:15 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. [TO BE RESCHEDULED]

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• Update 2/5/2026 9:30 a.m. – The changes were unsuccessful and the configurations have been rolled back to a previous state. The planned maintenance will be rescheduled for another date. Medial is available for use.  

• Medial will be unavailable from both on-campus and off-campus during the maintenance window. This includes embedded Medial content within Canvas. 

• Because the IP addresses of the sites will be changing, it is possible that your device may try connecting to the old IP addresses even after the change which will cause errors. Usually, this will resolve itself within 24 hours. However, if you have issues accessing Medial after the maintenance window is complete, you may try flushing the DNS cache on your device. 

SYSTEMS IMPACTED: 

• Medial 

REASON FOR MAINTENANCE:

• TS is making a vendor-recommended change in order to resolve a Chrome browser compatibility issue with embedded Medial iFrame content within Canvas. 

• TS will be moving the Medial server into a dedicated network zone on the firewall. This improves network security by segregating public-facing servers from the internal network and allowing more granular controls.
