Description
Summary:The Savannah River Site has historically allowed the purchase of IBM MS-DOS and Apple Macintosh computers based on user request. As workgroup file services are implemented on the Local Area Network users desire to share data to a greater extent. This has resulted in mixed groups who now wish to share data files cleanly among dissimilar operating systems. WISDOM was designed as a system of network services, workstation platform standards, installation procedures, and application choices which would address data integration from the user perspective. Novell Netware provides a basis for file transfer, while Microsoft Windows supplies the GUI necessary to compliment the Macintosh. Central administration, networking protocols, host connectivity, and memory management restrictions required imaginative solutions. This paper describes the current status of the 500-workstation prototype; user acceptance and training; and outstanding issues to be addressed. Details are given on the design philosophy, some of the technology utilized, the implementation process, and future directions.
