Barker College operates a multi-platform environment with a combination of Windows, iOS and macOS devices<\/strong> – between students and staff, this is upwards of 3,000 devices at any one time. They were also using multiple, disparate storage systems, including Office 365, Google Apps for Education (GAfE) and on-premise servers<\/strong>. With files stored across multiple platforms, transferring files between Google, Office 365 and local file storage was often problematic for users. Additionally, Barker used Novell\u2019s solution, Filr, to grant remote access to on-premise files. The College found Filr was slow and unintuitive, which resulted in users actively avoiding it within the school community \u2013 as a result, some staff were using a VPN to access files at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
