Is Brown University Currently Down?
Partially. Brown University has disruptions affecting Globus File Transfers and Other.
2 of 96 components currently report disruptions.
Operational: Administrative and Business, Communication and Collaboration, Desktop and Mobile Computing.
Temporary halt to Globus collection creation
In response to the recent security compromise involving the eMudhra intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) certificates used by Globus, we are taking immediate precautions to ensure the security of our data-sharing infrastructure. All Globus users are requested to refrain from creating any new Globus Guest Collections (Files22, Oscar, Departments, and Stronghold) until this issue is fully resolved. Active and ongoing transfer jobs will not be impacted. In some cases, active transfers may be briefly paused and automatically resumed later once connections are re-established. No data loss is expected. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact support@ccv.brown.edu.

How to read this
The record
30 day period · not affected by the range aboveAvailability counts operational or degraded time as available, averaged equally across all monitored components. Partial outages count as half downtime and major outages count in full, scheduled maintenance is excluded from the calculation, and periods with no recorded status are counted as available rather than assumed down. Each component is tracked independently to give you a clear picture of overall service reliability.
