In response to the mainframe outage during registration last week, the Peperdine IT department has announced it will be abolishing Wavenet and upgrading to a new IT system called Skynet.
Developed by Cyberdine Systems, Skynet is built on a radically new technology that is years ahead of anything else in the field. According to head engineer Myles Dyson, "Skynet is based on a new artificial intelligence architecture. We don't quite fully understand it yet, but it is totally autonomous, and boasts a perfect operational record."
"Skynet has the potential to be the ultimate killer app. A real world-beater", he added.
Pepperdine IT personnel first heard about Skynet last year when California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was on campus to sign the California Global Warming Solutions Act.
"It was strange", recalled Barron Williams, head of Pepperdine's IT department, "We knew he was on campus, but then he barges into the office like he owns the place and starts giving us this hard sell about Skynet."
"He wasn't happy when I told him we didn't have money in the budget, but he said he'd be back. He posed for some photos too, which was cool".
"I didn't think much more about it, but then the day after the registration crash I get this call from the Governor's office. Something about state disaster aid from the fire to upgrade the system."
Installation will begin in the late spring. Skynet is scheduled to go live on either July 24th or August 29th.
