Nick Miseirvitch, ClO, Information Technology
We lose all of our testing environments which are not needed during a disaster recovery situation. That is the primary
difference.
Alderman Gouveia
Thank you.
Alderman Klee
Again, Mr. Miseirvitch, just also for clarification on that, the reason you need less servers in a recovery system is because
they’re just holding data and they're not actually doing any of the work. It’s not people trying to go back and forth and get
information and so on. You don't need to have a lot of empty space for that. Is that correct? I’m just asking this so that
people understand why we have ten and only five in a backup.
Nick Miseirvitch, ClO, Information Technology
Yeah no, that’s not the case. The reason why we have a reduced number is because we would be using at a reduced
capacity. So like | mentioned, we wouldn't have any of the test servers at the DR site. Any testing would be on hold until
we got back to normal operations. The disaster recovery site is just what we need to get by for city business. Instead of
having a cluster of servers doing one thing, we’d be down to one server for that particular application.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
Alderman Cathey
Thank you Mr. Mayor. You mentioned the timeframe in a matter of weeks. Do you have an estimation for the actual time
it would take or the completion date?
Nick Miseirvitch, ClO, Information Technology
| don’t have an exact date because we aren't even receiving these until the May timeframe. That’s how far out they are
due to the current state of shipping. | started with the servers because they are the furthest delay and then | will be
coming back to this Committee for the storage for switching, and networking, and then finally for the fiber — in that order.
Alderman Cathey
Thank you.
Mayor Donchess
