 Hello everyone, my name is Michele Bordi, I come from Italy and I'm going to tell you about how next cloud save our work from COVID-19 emergency. I work for the municipality of Macerata, a 43,000 inhabitants city, Marcus region, in central Italy. Our company network is based on classic window ducted directory domain, implemented by virtual machines. Our employees work with personal home directory and share data among 10 departments and many more operational units for a total of 8 terabytes of files. All data are managed by a windows file server with SMB shares, each mapped to users and groups. Almost every software used in our company is based on SAS solution. We always made our best to promote this kind of solution in order to support platform independence and then point customization and troubleshooting. Before COVID-19 emergency we had been experimenting smart working solutions for the most one year. Project started in April 2019 with one tenth of users working from the houses for one day a week. Our users have been working with personal laptop connected through with private network to their work spaces, implemented by Microsoft RDS session hosts. This solution was very good for such a small setup because it guaranteed a very low learning curve to our users. Working with a RDS Windows session host is basically the same thing of working with your personal computer. Anyway, we know that this solution could not scale up very well in the future where all our employees will become remote workers. Moreover, sending up a VPN for each user needs some precious configuration time to be spent for every laptop. Anyway, our smart working project was growing so well but suddenly COVID-19 came to Italy and our lives changed much. We needed to send back all our employees to their home as soon as we could without stopping our activity. With a municipality and our core business is to give support to our citizens in such a difficult time. So we had to face the problem of expanding our remote working infrastructure from 21 users one day a week to 250 people connected every working day. We couldn't follow our performance solution based on Microsoft RDS because we couldn't provide enough resources to our data center in order to support the needed session host for every concurrent user. Moreover, it would have been very hard to give enough bandwidth to all our users to full access to SMB shares through VPN connections. Time was short and we needed to find some other way. So we focused on our main goal. We already had cloud-based management software, including our email system. So we just only needed a way to allow access from our users to their office data in a safe way. There is where NextCloud comes in help. We already tested the NextCloud solution in a classical fashion but in order to speed up deployment of our data and minimize learning curve impact on our users we chose to take advantage of external SMB mounts feature. In this way, we were able to give each user access on its personal home dear based on anti-directed user ID and organizational unit shell mounted for M1. Anti-directed permissions on file were still active and authorization was guaranteed. All of this providing the NextCloud web interface safe and marvel-free and avoiding to install any kind of software in our user personal computer. Microsoft remote desktop services with VPN client were still used for just only some customized setup like those legacy application with client server structure. NextCloud gives us the opportunity to allow our user to be ready to work from home in less than a week with minimal impact on our infrastructure and finances. Thanks to its intuitive interface, learning curve was lower than expected. COVID emergency has been tough but also a powerful boost to grow up people's IT skills faster. Our users now do things unthinkable until some month go. NextCloud web does very much in this, even if in a bit unconventional setup we're now ready to save to a full and native cloud based experience. Thank you for your attention.
