Our Marketplace

Education > Higher Education

The HE marketplace has always been an interesting one (to say the least) with many disparate systems to contend with and a user base several times the size and complexity of your average Corporate organisation.

At ST-FOUR we understand that what drives an HE institution is often a requirement to use IT in a radically different way to other organisations. As a result of this ST-FOUR have a history of taking Novell technologies and making them work in the way you need.

HOT TOPICS for HE are:

• Systems Integration – using tools like IDM and iChain to provide secure single sign-on solutions across multiple disparate systems for both external and internal access
• Data Resilience and replication – using SAN technologies, Stretched and Clustered clusters and RSYNC to protect data 24/7 & replicate data offsite for DR purposes and File System Factory to automate and manage data storage creation, modification and deletion based on eDirectory events, imagine moving a user in eDirectory and all their data automatically moves with them to a new server!
• User Lifecycle Management – using tools like IDM to automate user creation, moves and expiration/deletion on multiple directories and SQL databases
