3.  Mission critical system  Five years since last upgrade  Aging hardware  Disk space is full Why Upgrade? February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

4. Benefits  Quota increase  Approximately doubling capacity for each college and administrative division  Additional 5 GB quota for each department  Users get 3 GB quota separate from their department  Ability to add additional disk space as needed  No more Novell NetWare client  No client is necessary to access the new network file storage February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

5. Benefits (Continued)  Drive mapping consolidation  In Windows, the N: drive will provide access to ALL network file storage  Anti-virus scanning  All files will automatically be scanned for viruses and malware February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

6. Changes  Accessing data  Windows  Single drive letter for all data ( N:)  J, K, L, and M drives go away  Macintosh  Mac users connect to one or more of the new servers/volumes in a similar way as they do today February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

7. Changes (continued)  Personal folders ▫Personal folders (identified by e-ID) no longer reside within the departmental folder ▫Personal folders are arranged alphabetically by e-ID as follows: WindowsMacintosh N:\UserA-F\e-IDIT-DATA1.ad.jmu.edu/data/UserA-F/e-ID N:\UserG-L\e-IDIT-DATA1.ad.jmu.edu/data/UserG-L/e-ID N:\ UserM-R\e-ID IT-DATA2.ad.jmu.edu/data/UserM-R/e-ID N:\UserS-Z\e-IDIT-DATA2.ad.jmu.edu/data/UserS-Z/e-ID February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

8. Impacts to Windows Users  All references to drives J, K, L, or M will need to be modified to reference the N drive: ▫Desktop shortcuts ▫Microsoft Office: Default file locations, Recently used list ▫Desktop applications ▫Scripts ▫Databases ▫Embedded links ▫Documentation ▫Direct references to server names, for example NWDATA1, NWDATA2, NWDATA3 February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

9. New Look February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

10. Impacts to Macintosh Users  All references to server/volume names will need to be modified to reference the new servers/volumes (IT-DATA1, IT-DATA2, IT- DATA3) ▫Desktop shortcuts ▫Microsoft Office: Default file locations, Recently used list ▫Desktop applications ▫Scripts ▫Databases ▫Embedded links ▫Documentation February 2011James Madison University Information Technology

11. Migration Day  Access to the new environment will be available using the same methods as currently use  On-campus wired & wireless  Off-campus – using the VPN client  Log into Novell NetWare client as usual (Windows computers)- a utomatically maps all network drives, new and those not yet migrated February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology

12. Upon Project Completion  Windows Computers Only  Novell NetWare client will be removed Users will be notified prior to the removal Single login to computer with e-ID and password Access to both local and network files upon login February 2011 James Madison University Information Technology
