Background and Discussion:
The Isilon Archive Tier Expansion will add an archive expansion to the CCO Isilon storage environment, housed at the Harris County disaster recovery location, located at Fibertown.
Expected Impact:
The addition of the archive tier at Fibertown will allow County Clerk records to be synchronized from our downtown location to Fibertown. The implementation of this additional storage will provide our office with the ability to backup all CCO records & digitization projects moving forward. The expansion of storage will also provide our office with immutability for backups and the ability to protect CCO records & digitization projects from the possibility of malicious events.
