RE: share data with remote office

2011-09-03 Thread Laurence 
to quote Don:

Sounds like he has 2 locations, each with their own Internet connection, but no 
connection between the 2 locations.

Unless he connects these locations up, solution will have to be Internet based, 
“cloud-based” file sharing and the like.

/quote

this is pretty much the situation in a nutshell, for various, tedious, reasons 
it is unlikely that we can go to static IP address at the head office and set 
up any VPN just now, much as that would be the preferred solution

as Don stated we are looking at a cloud based file sharing system that allows 
connections to mapped network drives

thanks

Laurence

What is making a VPN to costly? Both offices already have broadbanduse the 
2008 server for the remote access, punch a hole in the internet firewall for 
only the IP address of the outside office and you should pretty much be done.

RE: share data with remote office

2011-09-02 Thread Matthew B Ames 
How much data?

Would the remote uses being storing files on the HQ server for backup purposes 
only, or would they be working on live documents?  If working on documents 
remotely what sort of file sizes?  Would they get annoyed by a slowdown in 
opening/saving files?

What routers are currently in place at both locations?  If you only have a 
cheapo home/domestic router, then replace then with something like  Draytek 
Vigor 2820 and let that handle a site to site VPN for you.  This assumes your 
remote worker always works from the same location, connectivity would then be 
transparent to the remote user.  Otherwise as Charlie says what is the matter 
with Win 2k8 VPN?

What costs for a VPN? The Win native VPN, while not perfect, is adequate and 
free...
