What is being done?
An upgrade is being implemented on the Research Data Store (RDS).

When is it being done?
The maintenance period is taking place between 08:30 and 17:00 hours on Thursday 19 February 2026. The RDS service may be unavailable for several seconds, at a few intervals during this period.

Who will this affect?
RDS users.

How will this affect users?
There is a very small chance that a file change will not be saved if it coincides with the above upgrade, hence we recommend saving work regularly or not using the RDS during this time.

Why is it being done?
This upgrade is being done to ensure we are running the latest secure versions of the storage operating system.
