<br>
I have been asked to set up a "cloud" system that will allow an organisation to store and access all their data online, accessible from a variety of OS's.<br>
<br>
Looking at existing services such as ubuntu one and <a href="http://wuala.com" target="_blank">wuala.com</a> (1GB is free there BTW) and having tried them, they seem designed more for "replicating" your data to an online service. It's a nice interface sure, transparent to gnome or windows (drag and drop and open file directly), but it seems to keep a copy of everything on the workstation. Since the shared data is likely to exceed 1TB this is probably inappropriate since some of the clients will be really low spec machines.<br>
<br>
The budget justifies getting a dedicated DC server, but even if I did this, it's the multi-OS client (interface to the service) that is missing. In Linux I just use sshfsmount, but also would need a non-technical way of getting doze to mount the shared space...<br>
<br>
Have had dig with a "Cloud Server" (the so named Ubuntu distro) I just cant figure out wtf it does really...<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations?<br>
<br>
