<div> NAIF
Server Change -- Possible Service Interruption</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On Monday, January 12 (PST), NAIF will switch the hardware that
provides the "naif.jpl.nasa.gov" SPICE server used by many
flight projects and other entities. We will be switching from a rather
old SPARC Ultra 2 to a pair of PC/Linux boxes. This change will
offer greater reliability for this increasingly important service.
It will also offer some performance improvement that should be helpful
in the future as more and more projects and individual customers come
to count on this service, especially when a comprehensive new set of
web services become available.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We have taken steps to minimize service disruption, but you may
experience some outage. This is especially true for those using the
Experimenter's Notebook with email-based entries: an outage of one or
two days is possible.</div>
<div><br></div>
