khmer6 Report post Posted February 13, 2015 It's been a while since I was in the IT world but...... It's pretty obvious they don't have the equipment to handle the surge every draw cycle. If they did it would sit idle most of the year expect the two main draws. The equipment would be outdated every other cycle any way. So why try to do the draw inhouse? I bet there's no less than 100 IT firms in state that could handle a draw cycle incident free and cheaper. Not entirely sure how the application part works but would be smart to use elastic computing since like you said. It's pretty much idle most of the year and takes a huge hit during the draw and results. If they aren't using an elastic cloud now maybe now would be a good time 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
