IST has postponed the retirement of the Socrates and Arachne servers until at least the end of the 2008 calendar year.
We have learned through our surveys and forums that we were naïve in our assumptions about the alternative options available to campus, and that our current offerings will not meet the needs of all Socrates and Arachne users.
We are actively pursuing alternative options for the Arache and Socrates services that meet the requirements identified in our surveys and forums, including evaluating noncampus vendors. IST will not close either the Socrates or Arachne services until we have more robust and affordable solutions available.
