QUESTION

Will the contract need adjustment to support the specified users per second capacity?

An adjustment to the contract with IBM is assumed to be necessary to support the specified users per second capacity.

  • Emma Vadehra indicates that an adjustment is assumed necessary, but final decisions are pending with IBM.
  • The specifics, such as auto scaling or a defined Transactions Per Second (TPS) amount, are under discussion.
  • IBM has made a recommendation on the adjustments needed.
  • The Department of Education (DOE) will collaborate with IBM to finalize the recommendation and associated costs.
  • Since the contract is with the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI), DOE will need to work through them for adjustments.

Thank you, chair.
1:07:44
Y'all.
1:07:44
Thank you for for testifying.
1:07:45
I got here a little late, so I apologize if you've already answered some of these questions.
1:07:50
And, actually, council member Shaker Krishnan addressed a lot of communication questions.

My question is about similarly about communication, I guess moving forward since it doesn't look like the dynamics of can you just confirm the the contract moving forward, will it be adjusted or have you found that there is no need to adjust the the 400,000, I'm sorry, the wrong terminology, users per second.

We assume it will need to be adjusted.
1:08:25
We do not have a final set of decisions between us and IBM.
1:08:28
On what is needed, whether it is auto scaling or some TPS amount.
1:08:32
They made us a recommendation last week.
1:08:34
We will work with them on the specifics of what that recommendation and then what the cost would be associated with that.
1:08:39
Obviously, again, the contract is with OTI, not us, but so we would need to work through them.

Right.
