On Wednesday night employees of the Secretary of State’s IT Department will be working on the registry computer system. We do not expect any interruption in service to the public. Last spring we replaced ACS Database Server that was installed in 2001 with a new SAN system. It has more memory, speed and physically it is about one third the size of the old one. The new servers memory is so big it also replaced four other old servers. The
elimination of these emptied three racks in our computer room. One of SEC IT jobs on Wednesday night will be to remove these racks. The new space will be used to store our new Kodak Archive Writer. SEC IT also intends to reorganize the patch cords used to connect the computer drops to the router switches. They were installed poorly way back in 1999. This must be done after hours since it requires disabling every device in the registry.
