Deschutes Children’s Foundation Server Out of Service
Call main office for timely communication
Bend, OR - Until further notice, please call the Rosie Bareis Community Campus at 541-388-3101 if you need to get in touch with DCF staff. The Deschutes Children's Foundation server is out of service indefinitely. DCF email communication runs through the server so DCF staff cannot be reached through email until the server is running again.
BITS, Inc. is currently diagnosing the server issues, but the outlook is bleak. The current server lost its main hard drive, and the motherboard - which allows for communication between the main and secondary hard drives - has failed.
DCF staff is looking into ways of fixing this situation. There are three options available right now: buying a used server, buying a new server with a warranty, or going into "the cloud" and eliminating the need for a physical server. If you have any experience with any of these options please call 541-388-3101.
Deschutes Children’s Foundation promotes a community of services for the children and families of Deschutes County. A synergistic mix of 26 nonprofit programs directly serving children and families reside rent-free on four easy-to-find, child-friendly community campuses in Bend, Redmond and La Pine. The resident programs save over $800,000 annually and over 65,000 individual visits occurred in 2010.
