Why cloud-storage?
Solid demand from end-users as well as CIOs Users will use a non-supported service if we don’t hand
them one Users wants to access files everywhere, not just at the
office Users are collaborating externally - using the same service
throughout the NREN(s) simplifies that
Cost NREN-tender lowers the prices Probably wont replace the fileserver, but the local storage
wont grow as fast 2013-11-12 Einar Blåberg <[email protected]> 4
Why/when not cloud-storage?
Sensitive data Need to educate users on risks
Too easy to collaborate? Sharing a file with anyone is only a click away
NSA/CIA/FRA/Snowden

Box.com as cloud-storage (1)
End-users like it Windows, MacOS X, iOS, Android, Office/Outlook,
Box Edit, good collaborative tools, can embed files in LMS/web-page
Admins like it Central administration with different levels of
administrators Federated login – no extra password
But… 2013-11-12 Einar Blåberg <[email protected]> 6
Box.com as cloud-storage (2)
But… Deployable sync-client missing (in beta now) E-mail-address-changes is an issue
▫ mail-attribute equals Box-account, a change in the attribute creates a new (empty) account if Box isn’t synced
Crypto-addon needed by some (third party, in beta)
Linux-support (WebDAV+rsync)

Setup (SUNET)
One site ([univ].app.box.com) per university Only admins at the university can access users and manage data Each university can set up branding and settings as it suits them
Existing (personal) accounts gets migrated to the new site Proxy-IdP (SWAMID) to filter users
All employees and/or all students, based on eduPersonAffiliation
Universities pays SUNET per account No startup-cost for the university Accounts gets created at first logon
A day or so to set up the service for a new customer SPOC at Box

Students?
So far only two universities offer the service to students Not statistically reliable
Chalmers after just over one year (including the pilot) 1.400/10.000-15.000 students (~10%) 1.600/2.500-3.500 employees (~50%)
Why? Sync/Box Edit not available in computer labs? Not the same need for a supported/certified storage as employees? Already using dropbox/gdrive/…? Haven’t heard about it?
