The State of Texas has an interesting history with IT.  About one and a half
years ago the State finally built a data center in San Angelo to house all
the different department's mainframe computers.  At least this step
addressed some of the environmental costs of operating a different mainframe
for each department as opposed to an LPAR each on a BIG mainframe.  Prior to
this each agency had its own data center.

However, you can rest easy knowing that the State has its priorities
straight.  The DR plan for the state mandates that the Texas Workforce
Commission will be the first agency operational in the event of a disaster
so they can start printing unemployment checks as quickly as possible.
