Ordered move of your file server
The structures in a company are subject to constant change. Because of this, the file stores are also subject to constant adaptation. These adjustments may be due to the exponential surge of data, the move from Novell to Microsoft, or simply a corporate restructuring. As long as the data is only copied from a small file server to a larger one, it is relatively simple. However, these times are also suitable for subjecting the structures on the systems, and above all the permissions, to a review and optimization. And from that point on, the whole thing gets complicated.

7. Manage rights in the long term?
[/ezcol_1quarter] [ezcol_1half]
- The new file server is characterized by slim directory structures and perfectly structured access rights
- A rights management system can be integrated at this time with minimal effort!
