Meantime, the high level design for the new solution to replace Atlantis has been approved, and a workshop was held to kick off the low level design so that the VSAN build can be done before end of 2017.

The School of Medicine were not historic users of the previous service and the second phase of the project will be focussed on supported expanded use in such Schools. There are some particular challenges in the School related to confidential content and the level of access in Learn which will be the focus of the next phase in terms of support.
