Academic Computing to promote centrally managed, education and research shared document storage is supporting a central file sharing server - SR02Razorbill. The service provides enhanced security controlled, access from desktop Macs and PCs to a departmentally oriented, shared file system. Departmental disk space is organized into several standard data sharing folders each with the name of the Academic Department.
All users have private or personal storage space mapped to a user account.
This space is private to the user and requires formal authorization before IS will give others access to its contents. The main sharing file structure is the departmental folder which houses any departmentally defined workgroup or division folders, as well as department wide shared folders. Academic Computing and IS will work with department managers to define the security structure of the folders. Individual users are allowed to store appropriate business-related documents on the server. The central file storage is designed to encourage all users to move business documents, lab data, spreadsheets, and databases, off local hard drives and onto a centrally available server.
