Drive Mapping for Faculty
BlueArc Storage
In addition to the storage available on P: and R:, faculty may also request space on BlueArc. BlueArc is a scalable
network storage option
for faculty project servers and workgroups who have large amounts
of project-related data that needs to be shared, backed-up, or stored
for the duration of a project. Once your folder has been created
and added to BlueArc by its administrators, you can map a connection
to it from your PC, creating a virtual “volume” (drive)
that can be shared with students, colleagues, and Tufts-affiliated
project participants. By utilizing the drive mapping, mounting, and
VPN solutions detailed in this tip sheet, your BlueArc storage area
is accessible from all the major computer operating systems available.
The Drive
Mounting section
provides details for mounting a drive to the
BlueArc
storage
appliance
from Linux. Contact your Frontline
Support Provider or school IT
support organization to discuss the nature of these services,
your needs, and available options.
