Whitman County Commissioners discussed a possible upgrade to the IT system in the Whitman County Courthouse to increase the amount of available technology storage and replace 30-year-old fiber optic cables.
The fiber optics cables in the courthouse tend to have a 25-year lifespan, said Lance Bishop, information technology director for Whitman County. The cables are degraded and can only handle 10 gigabytes of storage. When they are replaced, about 40 gigabytes of storage will become available.
Bishop said he is considering moving some of the county’s overall storage into cloud storage, which would increase the county’s available storage. This would help store data from departments like the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office, which currently has over 14 terabytes of stored body camera footage.
