Secure syncing tool
-
Is the purpose just for quicker access of files or backup or...what's the objective here?
-
Are you on Windows? DFS would be the normal answer there.
-
Agreeing with Scott on this one.
-
Or use BranchCache is you have the licensing for it.
-
@ajstringham The purpose is quicker file access.
@scottalanmiller We could use DFS, but they have a global AD migration plan going on, and so we will at some point get all migrated to their AD. ]
So I am looking at a standalone solution which will be used to sync our network drive to branch offices nas

I could suggest BranchCache to them and see if they agree on implementing it

Move up the timeframe for the AD implementation, then use DFS.

@alexntg I have no control on the decision on AD rollout but can suggest this to them. Thanks!

I can't speak for all companies, but in most acquisitions, if the acquired company actively tries to integrate into the parent company's structure, it's viewed as a very good thing.

Syncing NAS units for read/write at all locations is very tough. There are few solutions for this. Microsoft has a few options internally for this and stands out as a rare case in the industry.
-
Oh, it's a NAS? If it's a Synology, you can use Cloud Station to sync files in a Dropbox-esque manner with the NAS.

I am in touch with http://www.accellion.com/ and checking at the Kite works enterprise. The parent company is using a product from this, but with limited storage space, but since they already use a product from accellion, I believe getting this approved would be much easier than introducing anything new. Got in touch with the local distributer and they agreed to give us a 15 days demo so we can test this in realtime. Its a software appliance which works with vmware/hyperv. Will share more details after the demo
