All faculty, administrators, staff and student computers will, in time, be connected to the College's Novell network.
Client software installed on each machine allows users to connect to network drives and share files.
All users are also issued a personal directory and allotted space to store their files. The advantage of using this source is to keep your files safe. If you store information on your personal computer and the hard drive becomes damaged, your files would be lost if you have not backed-up your work. On the network, all files are backed-up by ACS and may be quickly and efficiently restored even if your machine suffers serious hardware problems. We recommend that once your are set up on the network that you use your folder on the Novell Network as the default location for your documents.
