Over the next several months KGIS is bringing online new server systems to host this website, store user data files and house the Oracle geodatabase.  In short, all KGIS servers are being replaced and this will have an impact, hopefully a positive one, on all users.  In summary the changes taking place are:

• The file servers KGIS-FILE1 and KGIS-FILE3 are being replaced with a single system called KGISCCPRFS1.  All user data files are being relocated to this server, including the ArcMapDataManagement folder, KGISdgns, and all tiff-based orthos.  KGIS will begin this transition in the first full week of September.  We will contact all users and departments to coordinate the relocation of files, any drive remappings that are necessary and reconfiguration of ArcGIS Image Server connections if used.

• The "old brown site", www.kgis.net, is going off-line at 4:00 PM August 31st and will not be available until December.  At that time, this site, new.kgis.net will become www.kgis.net. 

• Replacement of the Oracle database server is also underway.  KUB users will go-live on the new database, with City and County uses transitioned in December. 

Please feel free to contact John Edwards (5-3130) or Conn McAnally (5-2127) if you have any questions or concerns.
