| Any suggestions? I have lots of bandwidth and would like to just set up a VPN to a cloud server. I need some permissions based access but nothing super granular. This office is a long ways away and I don't want to buy equipment and have to have someone manage it. I'll have IT staff, but I'm tired of fighting issues. |
| Have a 10Gb connection. Only connecting to one office but may have one off site person. They already have a VPN to the office. Hosting QuickBooks, office documents, maybe some video. Will be accessed frequently. Need probably 1TB. Cost is secondary to performance. |

Maybe. Haven't used Google and 365 minimally. Not sure if I can set up a VPN to the storage and how permissions work. Their pricing seemed difficult to follow, but if they have what I need, I can deal. |

Where is the VPN need coming from? Do you want them to have access to data in the cloud or the home office network resources? |

They are very security conscious. Only 15 or 20 people but they are a private equity firm and there's lots of money involved. Storage of banking and finance data. Quoted:

Azure is your answer.
You can setup several types of storage and secure it however you want. Think of it as an extension of your offices infrastructure. I can all be spun up quickly and for what you need it isn't expensive. If you need more info we send me a PM. We can get you setup a lot cheaper than some of the others. |
| All of the large cloud storage providers are similar. It is a great deal for a small office. No data protection or disaster recovery needed. There are many choices of advanced features with cloud storage. Several of the providers offer unlimited storage with a monthly bandwidth cap. |
