As part of Harvard’s larger move to the Cloud, the Harvard Data Warehouse (HDW) will migrate from our data center at 60 Oxford St., Cambridge to Amazon Web Services (Cloud).
From 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 20th through Monday, September 24, as the migration is in process, the Harvard Data Warehouse will be unavailable.
Please note:
- Direct queries will be unavailable.
- During the migration period, the applications below will not be able to pull data from the HDW. As a result, certain Financial, Sponsored and/or Human Resource data in these applications will be stale as of the end of the business day on Wednesday, September 19. These applications will be brought up to date by 9am on Tuesday, September 25 when the HDW is back to normal operations.
