And what a blast from the past: > Some of the temporary locations, such as the W Hotel, required significant upgrades to their network infrastructure, Klepper said. "We're running a Gigabit Ethernet now here in the W Hotel,'' Klepper said, with a network connected to four T1 (1.54M bit/sec) circuits. That network supports the code development for a Web-based interface to the company's systems, which Klepper called "critical" to Empire's efforts to serve its customers. Despite the lost time and the lost code in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, Klepper said, "we're going to get this done by the end of the year." > Shevin Conway, Empire's chief technology officer, said that while the company lost about "10 days' worth" of source code, the entire object-oriented executable code survived, as it had been electronically transferred to the Staten Island data center.
