As part of the Naval Education and Training Command's (NETC) annual fire suppression test for the Saufley Field Data Center, numerous education and training applications will be unavailable Saturday Dec. 19 from approximately 12 a.m. until 9 p.m.

According to NETC Program of Records Director David Schisler, the fire suppression testing is vital for the training enterprise to function in case of a data center emergency.

"This event has been scheduled on a weekend to minimize the impact to our customers," said Schisler. "The annual fire suppression tests are crucial to ensuring that our systems and data center are as safe and reliable as possible. We will be bringing the applications back online as soon as possible after the tests are complete."
