Hi guys,
Does anyone have experience with deploying some sort of file share for
a school? Preferably a UK based 3rd party offers this service, like
"dropbox" or something like that.
Kind regards,

hi kai,
The reason he did not like it is that, the third party might not be
located in UK and also they need to satisfy all the criteria (like the
staff of the third party must have CRB and so on. ), which will
complicate things further ....
The services of the server are:-
-Store a password protected folders for staff and students (i.e the
student will have their own password protected folders and also access
to study or corse materials)
-and basically manage and administer the network
it is not that complicated network really. What ACCD is look for is
to just have a secure server to do the above services.
as in regards to the ac.uk domain name, i only joined the organisation
recently, but the reason they have the org.uk is that they also
operate as a charity, so perhaps that is the reason ACCD has the ac.uk
Kind Regards

KnowledgeTree or an Alfresco instance would provide file sharing and
authentication services. Or Zimbra, which if internal can be the
central LDAP server too. All of these (maybe not Alfresco) can be
provided from UK hosts, although not CRB-checked necessarily. Sounds
like you want C-Cloud (like G-Cloud only for charities!) or internal
will be the way to go. If internal then I think Karoshi might be the
answer.
I guess I'm working on very limited amounts of information though...
