Even though the Canadian government is promoting renewable resources, it will take a long time to establish a network that is completely dependent on renewable resources.

There is a shift that has been occurring in recent years to move away from server hardware to cloud computing. As Gallaugher stated, it is “evident in IBM’s quarterly numbers” (pg 217). The company saw an increase in earnings with a larger decrease in hardware sales.

The only available information about the EDAS Server-Side Hardware is that it runs on the “USAHRC Data Center Mainframe” (Human Resources Command, 2016). I imagine that this data center is something like the data center represented by SAP. There is certainly a server room. This room contains some sort of primary and secondary cooling. The room also contains a power source and in case that source fails, likely a battery backup to hold interim power while the generators kick on. All of this would be necessary to maintain operational readiness
