I did also note that the data was described, by themselves so could be misleading, as Records of arrests where NFA was taken. So the question here is whether the 'deletion' was deliberate as holding this kind of data is very contentious. Storing of ALL DNA evidence collected is similarly contentious.

What on earth is an IBM alike? Not only do you still don't know what you're talking about, you don't even know what you're writingOriginally posted by AtW View PostAnd how many people on here pay massive premium for vendors like IBM alikes if it was their own money vs viable much cheaper alternatives?
IBM alikes was ok in 70s, 80s maybe even 90s. but certainly not past 2010

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI can still restore data from 10 years ago, you have to remember that these systems have been going for years so their procedures tend to have evolved over time and are pretty failsafe apart from 'between chair and keyboard problem' which seems to have happened here
Sent from my 5g carrier pigeon
Only 10 years ago? We have 30 years ago.

You still have no idea what you're talking about do you?Originally posted by AtW View PostGovt is big enough of a client to have multiple fully owned secure data centers (not with ancient mainframes either) - it's not like digital storage is something that will disappear anytime soon.

AIX and AS/400 are not mainframes I'm afraid, in fact one is an operating systemOriginally posted by vetran View PostIt was an attempt at humour.
But are you saying buying a disk from the approved supplier like Fujitsu is anywhere the same cost as buying from Insight or similar? If you don't buy from the vendor how does that affect your maintenance?
The PNC mainframe is a modern one then?
Buying a server disk from the manufacturer was normally 2+ times the price of buying in channel.
My experience was with AIX & As400 boxes 10 - 20 years ago, it may have changed since then but I doubt it.

No wonder people flock to AWS

Originally posted by vetran View PostThought so. But is it made by Fujitsu and sold to the Government?
