Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[kilshaw]

You would be surprised at the level of ineptitude that resides in the government ranks. I had to respond to a file server outage where the techs had configured the attached storage array on RAID 0 with no fault tolerance. Fast read/write speeds right up until a single drive brought the whole volume down. Why do you think there is such a booming contractor support market with the government? The techies with any sort of ability get out of the government ranks and gravitate towards contracting. Long story short, you can have all of the storage arrays and server space in the world but if you haven't developed and implemented your disaster recovery plan properly, your screwed. In some cases, the misconfig and poor implementation could be intentional.
