Craighead County IT says data storage is extremely low

Craighead County is running out of data storage space for all of its departments and needs an immediate upgrade.  That is what the Craighead County Quorum Court was told during a meeting last night.  The county’s Information Technology department says data usage has soared, which creates the need for much more storage.  Justices learned the county only has about three months of storage left before it runs out.  A proposal was brought before the Quorum Court for $75,000 to be used to purchase an upgraded system, which would increase data storage capacity for the next five years.  Justices were angry that the IT department knew as early as January that storage space was running low and waited so long to address the situation.  They requested numbers from companies that could offer bids for the upgrades and will look at the proposal next month.
