Information Technology Reflection
In the IT department, Hal and Mr. Williams were very nice and answered all our questions. They told us that the servers never turn off even if the power goes out there are back up generators that can be refueled. All the information that is on the servers is put into disks, which are then transferred into tapes. They have hundreds and hundreds of terabytes of information in a fire proof safe that can be accessed if needed. The only time law enforcement can access these tapes is when there has been a murder or a kidnapping. This is so that patients have their rights to privacy. To protect the patients’ privacy all the tapes are encrypted so that only people with Freeman’s programs can access them.
