Itis now clear that DREs have serious problems, many ofwhich stem from inadequate testing procedures or the failure to follow thoseprocedures. At a minimum, every DRE voting technology should be subjected topublic red team testing, should use only certified election code, and shouldprovide voters with paper ballots upon request. (www.wheresthepaper.org....bility.htm)
PaperBackups In addition to these steps, election jurisdictions should prepare toprovide voters with paper ballots upon request. Every state has procedures forabsentee and provisional balloting, and those procedures should be extended tovoters who choose not to use a DRE that cannot be audited (www.wheresthepaper.org....bility.htm)
Avantes Vote-Trakker18 is an accessible,VVPAT-equipped DRE that has completed federal testing. It is certified for usein several states and has certifications pending in others.19 This system hasbeen used successfully in five separate elections and the American Council ofthe Blind lists the Vote- Trakker as an accessiblevoting system.20 In addition, Jim Dickson of AAPD has called Avantes VVPAT an elegant way to provide a paper audittrail if one is mandated.2 (www.wheresthepaper.org....bility.htm)
Somecounties have already purchased paperless DREs , andreplacing those machines with one of the systems described above before theNovember election may be impossible. In those cases, DREs could be used to provide accessible voting if additional safeguards areadopted. California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley recently outlined such aplan, mandating that counties be allowed to use already-purchased DREs under two conditions: DREs must either be equipped with a VVPAT, or they must meet 23 additional securityrequirements and voters must be allowed to vote on a paper ballot if they sodesire. This stopgap solution preserves accessibility for disabled voters andincreases election integrity (www.wheresthepaper.org....bility.htm)
Recentexposure of problems in electronic voting systems has led to widespread callsfor a voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT). However, some claim thataccessible, auditable voting systems do not exist and that the public mustchoose between the rights of disabled voters and verifiable elections. Wereject this false choice. Accessible, auditable voting systems have beennationally qualified and can be purchased today. Even more will be available inthe coming months. We instead call for cooperation in the ongoing effort toimprove accessibility and auditability in electiontechnology. (www.wheresthepaper.org....bility.htm)

Internet SCSI, or iSCSI, is a network protocol that transports SCSI commands packaged as IP. It runs over Ethernet and other TCP/IP capable connections, and allows storage to be accessed at block level rather than file level. That in turn means the storage appears as a local SCSI device, not a network -attached remote drive. (whitepapers.theregister.co.uk..../reg-iscsi)
This is the essence of a SAN, or storage area network . SANs typically enable storage to be decoupled from the servers that use it, and can be used to share and consolidate storage, and to make it easier to manage. For example, the servers can use the SAN to share a RAID array or tape library instead of each needing one of its own (whitepapers.theregister.co.uk..../reg-iscsi)
It's been a testing time for iSCSI developers and users. Their IP-based scheme for building storage area networks (SANs) has received huge amounts of publicity and hype in recent years, starting even before it was ratified by the IETF in February 2003, yet it has failed to set the storage world alight (whitepapers.theregister.co.uk..../reg-iscsi)
So now that the hype appears to have abated somewhat, is this a sign that the companies backing iSCSI have run out of energy and patience, or the first hint that the technology has crossed the chasm and become commonplace and accepted (whitepapers.theregister.co.uk..../reg-iscsi)
Small to midsized businesses, departments of large enterprises, and remote offices/branch offices (ROBOs) of large enterprises (in this paper referred to collectively as SMEs) are facing a mounting storage crisis.

They simply cannot sustain their (whitepapers.theregister.co.uk..../reg-iscsi)
