Northrop Grumman Says 'I'm Sorry' For Virginia IT Outage

Posted by Soulskill on from the wipe-the-tears-away-with-benjamins dept.

Lucas123 writes "After a storage area network in a data center run by Northrop Grumman went down last week, crippling 26 state agencies' websites — some for more than a week — Northrop Grumman has now apologized to Virginia, saying it will learn from its mistakes in order to recover systems faster in the future. Northrop's $2.6 billion service contract with Virginia's government has come under harsh criticism in the past for service outages, along with project delays and cost overruns."

    We've had an insane number of power outages, water main breaks, crippling snowstorms with unplowed roads, etc

    Only Republicans politicians in federal government can both cut taxes and issue debt to pay for ordinary day-to-day services without a political cost, as their voters are stupid and easily fooled.
