Dear AERIS/ICARE users,

A major electrical maintenance operation in the building that houses our infrastructure is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2, 2025, early in the morning, and is expected to last all day.

AERIS/ICARE services will therefore be shut down from Monday 16:00 and the systems should be turned back on Tuesday evening. However, in the worst case, this extinction could last until early Thursday 4 morning.

All services (web, ftp, ssh) will be affected during this shutdown period.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Best regards

The AERIS/ICARE Team
