Polling Question
Why is the file server a mainstay in many offices?
• A single, centralized hub for an office’s data
• Businesses are loathe to get rid of a server that “just works”
• Secure access for remote employees
Traditional drawbacks of the file server
• Remote access to the file server requires slow, clunky use of VPN and FTP
• Data silos result from difficulty of remotely connecting to server
• Reduction in file access leads to breakdown in collaboration
