IRS Awards Contract to Unisys to Deliver On-Demand Storage Service via Private Cloud Solution Unisys ^ \| July 26, 2012 BLUE BELL, Pa., July 26, 2012 – Unisys (NYSE: UIS) announced today that it has been awarded the Enterprise Storage Acquisition task order from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide private cloud-based storage for the agency’s information records. This task order, awarded against GSA’s Alliant Government-wide Acquisition Contract, has a one-year base period and nine one-year options and is potentially worth up to $139 million over 10 years, if all options are exercised. It includes pricing for each year based on the IRS’s estimate of its storage requirements. Under the task order, Unisys will initially acquire storage assets now owned and managed by IRS and will manage the more than 7.5 petabytes of storage space currently in multiple IRS data centers and facilities. Unisys will then plan, build, deploy and maintain a new IRS storage environment, transitioning those assets to a private cloud-based storage-as-a-service model in which the agency will pay for storage capacity as needed. (Excerpt) Read more at unisys.com ... Still to be uncovered are the facts about IRS data storage. The Sonasoft piece is getting a lot of exposure. IBM also has involvement. Here we see that cloud storage does exists for at least some of the data. Think of this... Suppose that there is a hostile work environment or racial bias lawsuit, and plaintiff asserts evidence was in specific emails from a specific time frame. How long would it take for a sharp lawyer in front of a judge to compel production of same or convincing and documented PROOF that it could not be produced? I'm going to say "Twenty four hours or less." 1 posted on 6/22/2014, 10:59:20 AM by don-o To: don-o The Obama Administration will Prove that Computers are Useless ,All Data Backup Is Totally Useless etc etc ,LOL 2 posted on 6/22/2014, 11:05:21 AM by molson209 (Blank)

I am using the enumerated "Bill of Rights" as a prime example of how our culture has rightfully raised the status of self-protection as a natural right so high that it overrules the powers of government to take action on sane and law abiding citizens in several ways. Nonsense......our culture has nothing to do with the basic survival needs of human beings and all animals on the planet.... For some weird reason you seem determined to equate paper documents with inborn instincts and needs...
