The purpose of the exercise is to validate the ability to fail over the ESPC Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network to the CIP system and the ability to then switch back to the NSOF facility. During the test, there will be no network connectivity to the operational Data Distribution Server (DDS) from outside the NOAA Satellite Operational Satellite Facility (NSOF). Since the CIP test does not include Jason-2, near real-time users will not be able to access Jason-2 OGDR products via the DDS during the test. However, OGDR-BUFR files will still be available via the Global Telecommunication System (GTS). The Facility Backup Exercise will begin at 7:50 AM EDT. The CIP site will be the operational ESPC system for approximately four (4) hours until the exercise is failed back. The return to nominal ESPC operations at NSOF will be established by 12:00 PM EDT. For the duration of the test, all Jason-2OGDR products will be generated by EUMETSAT and made available via the GTS and their EUMETCAST system. No operational FTP servers will be available during this time to replace the DDS. Once nominal ESPC operations are re-established all Jason-2 products and ancillary files will again be available with up to a 4 hour latency. There is a possibility the fail over date could be delayed if there is a critical weather day, at which point users will be notified accordingly. * * *Contact Information for Further Information:* ESPC Operations at ESPCOperations@noaa.gov at 301-817-3880 This message was sent by ESPC.Notification@noaa.gov.

Topic: Jason-2 Data Outage during Planned ESPC CIP Exercise

Date/Time Issued:  March 15, 2017 2047Z

Product(s) or Data Impacted:

All Jason-2 Products and Ancillary files distributed via the Data Distribution Server (DDS) to the CLASS archive and Jason-2 OGDRs distributed via DDS to users. 

Date/Time of the Initial Impact:  MARCH 29, 2017 1150Z

Date/Time of Expected End:  March 29, 2017 1600Z

Length of the Outage:  ~ 4 hours

Details/Specifics of Change:  

 The ESPC plans to fail over to the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) site at Wallops, VA on March 29, 2017 in support of ESPC/CIP Testing. The purpose of the exercise is to validate the ability to fail over the ESPC Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network to the CIP system and the ability to then switch back to the NSOF facility. During the test, there will be no network connectivity to the operational Data Distribution Server (DDS) from outside the NOAA Satellite Operational Satellite Facility (NSOF). Since the CIP test does not include Jason-2, near real-time users will not be able to access Jason-2 OGDR products via the DDS during the test. However, OGDR-BUFR files will still be available via the Global Telecommunication System (GTS).

The Facility Backup Exercise will begin at 7:50 AM EDT. The CIP site will be the operational ESPC system for approximately four (4) hours until the exercise is failed back.
