Virginia's IT outage doesn't pass management sniff test | ZDNet

Northrop Grumman has a HUGE contract with the state of Virginia.

Northrop Grumman is getting paid large amounts of money (Virginia paid an EXTRA $236Million AND a three year extension on the original contract for improved service) for doing the IT for the state of Virginia.

For the past several days, 26 state agencies have been affected by an IT outage caused by EMC DMX-3 hardware failure. Blame your problems on the hardware.
