Case Study: Controlling Data Storage Usage
The Challenge
This customer was having problems with running out of disk space on the main file server.
Our Solution
We installed Northern Quota Server software on the file server. This was then configured to provide users with a limited quota, which can be set on a user-by-user basis. Users are given automatic warnings if they go over their allowed quota. If they continue to remain over their allowed quota they are prevented from creating new documents until they have reduced their overall storage use.
This leaves users free to choose their priorities for data storage, whilst preventing the server from running out of storage space.
