Dear Origin Content Providers,
We’re writing to let you know that the Origin (http://origin.www.upenn.edu) retirement date has been extended to Friday, September 29, 2017. The extension will allow clients who have chosen alternative hosting solutions to move directly to their new hosts as opposed to moving twice. It will also allow additional fine tuning of the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for Akamai, our web caching service, which will continue to be used to redirect pages from Origin to our various new hosting solutions.
We are pleased to report that dozens of websites have been successfully migrated off Origin. Migrations were seamless and no disruptions were reported by site visitors.
If you have any questions about the retirement of the Origin server, please reach out to ISC Client Care at help@isc.upenn.edu.
We thank you for your cooperation as we work together to modernize Penn’s web hosting environment and adopt more secure solutions to protect the University’s assets and resources.
The Origin Project Team
