Planning for state-of-the-art computer buildings under way in Montana
| December 6, 2007 |  View for printing |
State computer managers are beginning to plan two state-of-the-art computer buildings that should ensure that voting, tax and other vital electronic functions are impervious to floods, power outages — even an earthquake.
“What we’re doing is building the buildings,” said Dick Clark, the state’s chief information officer. “Then, in phase two, we’ll have a moving plan where we move the racks and servers and tape drives into the new building in Helena. It’s quite a feat.”
Boyer said the state will call a series of public meetings in Billings, Miles City and Forsyth early next year in preparation for picking where the second computer building will be located. They’re the only towns that expressed interest.
