The background is that a couple of years back a village school was looking to replace  its rather ancient RM Store Box, which had finally packed up. Their <abbr title="Information and Communications Technology">ICT</abbr>  supplier proposed a relatively sophisticated Windows server solution  costing £16,000; the school had a budget of £3,000. Not only could they  not afford it, it was gross overkill and they had been quite happy with  the functionality of the Store Box. The answer was a NAS-based solution  based around a 'next generation' device such as the Synology  DiskStation. One of the guides here is the latest iteration of that  work. It's at <a href="http://www.schoolnetworking.org.uk" rel="external nofollow">Practical Guides to Setting up Networks in Primary Schools - Home</a> - hopefully someone will find it useful!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">886</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Aug 2013 14:30:13 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
