My company needs a solution to a problem and I dont have the server expertise to come up with an exact solution but maybe someone here already has figured this one out. We currently have over a hundred job sites throughout the company working on projects. We currently run everything off Citrix for our outlook access, word processing, timberline and ect. Many of us are tired of using Citrix and have convinced the company we can do business without it but need a solution to some things.
We have a lot of files that only the individual projects require at any one time so the process of having to log onto Citrix to retrieve these files is tedious and slow depending on the file size which can be large. The more tech savvy projects have gone to project NAS and server setups. The problem with these are they do not automatically perform backup to the companies servers. We usually deploy 2-20 computers and tablets on the job sites depending on size of the project that will need access to files on the onsite server. Is there an easy to set up, think non-technical people but can make a phone call and follow directions well, server or NAS system that could be deployed at these job sites that will automatically backup to the companies servers every few days or so? Projects take anywhere from 6 months to 4 years or more so the solution needs to be able to take apart and reinstalled on a new project without too much headache. I have a not so helpful IT team to deal with because they always seem to know best instead of listening to the issues so whatever the solution I need to be able to tell them all the components for a turnkey solution. Thanks for the help.
