CSG006 (In-year) OPAS Migration Category: Compliance Milestones RAG Status : AMBER | Report by Chris Konczak for October 2015 Achievements in Last Period - Possible solution found to the IP / Firewall issue identified. This is to create a seperate instance of SQL Server on the shared SQL server. Estimation has been put together and been circulated.
Issues - The old SQL server had restrictions on IP address with the firewall. The new SQL Server does not allow this as the database is now on a shared instance instead of on its own instance. We are meeting with section heads to discuss whether wheather the security we now have in place is sufficient.
- Need to secure extra funding to persu this solution
Next Steps - Meet wtih business and sponsor to discuss this change in scope and budgets
- If agreed by business and sponsor, implement this solution
- Deployment Sign off Review
