The ENPaul Network (ENPN) provides a number of services for entertainment, car parts, data management, and security. While the full list of services and applications hosted on the ENPN is constantly in flux, the services included here are persistent and should be considered reliable.
The ENPN VPN system uses the open-source VPN server software from the <atarget="_blank"href="https://www.softether.org/">Softether Project</a>. The secure L2TP/IPSec tunnel uses Active Directory authentication and AES128 encryption for security.
Microsoft <atarget="_blank"href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa362244(v=vs.85).aspx">Active Directory Domain Services</a> (ADDS) is the backbone of all ENPN authentication, including RADIUS, Kerberos, and LDAP.
The ENPN Domain makes use of ADDS distributed domain authentication and Group Policy system management. This allows for automation and remote management of large networks by a small number of administrators.
Centralized network storage ensures that data is accessible and redundant within the network infrastructure. This protects against data loss, promots collaboration, and allows for easy organization.
The primary ENPN datastore is a <atarget="_blank"href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_5">RAID 5</a> array of <atarget="_blank"href="https://www.wdc.com/products/business-internal-storage/wd-red-pro.html">Western Digital Red</a> drives, while the secondary datastore uses twin <atarget="_blank"href="https://www.wdc.com/en-um/products/wd-outlet/wd-green.html">Western Digital Green</a> drives in a mirror configuration.
The ENPN Cloud Drive uses the open-source <atarget="_blank"href="https://pydio.com/">Pydio</a> software project to provide a publicly accessible web interface for accessing data resources.
The <atarget="_blank"href="https://www.plex.tv/">Plex Media Server</a> project allows administrators to make their personal media collections available to friends and family. The ENPN Plex Media Server is available both at the link below and directly through <atarget="_blank"href="https://app.plex.tv">Plex.TV</a>.
<ahref="https://about.gitlab.com/">Gitlab</a> is a <ahref="https://github.com/">GitHub</a> alternative that provides Git source control, data integration, and collaboration tools via a web interface. Most major projects, or parts of them at least, are stored on the Gitlab server, as it is used for personal, academic, and professional development projects.

The ENPN runs <ahref="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce">Gitlab Community Edition (CE)</a>.
