Managing ‘Road Warrior’ Data

Toshiba R840 Laptops

VPN Available

We are essentially a global consultantcy – often working in rural areas.

All of our consultants carry laptops and work directly from them. They can be travelling for upto three months or maybe a bit longer. The data carried is often very sensitive.

We require; The consultant to be able to work from his/her laptop with access to all their data, on and offline. Us to hold a ‘backup’ (as best we can) of this information for obvious reasons.

Current Soluion;
-The Users ‘My Documents’ folder is redirected to an allocated ‘User Space’ on a file server.
– This folder, hosted on the file server is made, ‘ always avilable offline’.
– Scheduled Sync’s have been configured for synchronization between the shared folder (on file server) and the users my docs folder.

This provides an offline version for them and a backup for us when they are back in the office of connect via VPN.

This is no longer working for many reasons and im just putting the feelers out for any experience or suggestions?!

Thanks in advanced,
Adam
