We are quickly approaching our annual maintenance period! Unity will be completely offline from June 5th at midnight (the start of June 5th) through June 10th for necessary maintenance and upgrades. This coincides with the annual shutdown at the datacenter Unity lives at, the MGHPCC.

Once Unity is back online and ready for use again, we will send a follow up email. Until then, I invite you to join us on our Unity User Community Slack where you can get the most up-to-date information and chat with the Unity team. Sign up here with your University credentials to join. If you’re unable to join automatically with your University email, please send a ticket to hpc@umass.edu for a direct invite.
