Dear All,
I am setting up the IT infrastructure of a small company (staff of 10 in the UK and Japan). We are in need of a remote data center with a secure access (mostly for confidential file sharing). We would like to outsource as many things as possible and obtain a simple, yet secure, IT solution.
Please note, I am IT savvy, but I'm no IT professional, and I am therefore looking for relatively basic advices and guidelines. For now, I would go with the following ... any comment?
- datacenter: : a dedicated server such as provided by
- secure access: : Windows VPN client/server solution (company staff have all Vista x86 or x64)
Regarding VPN authentication: I would prefer to use password-based authentication with strong password policies rather than security token cards. What options do I have left? Is Windows VPN client/server a good option? Are MSCHAP2 or EAP difficult to implement? Are there better (and cheaper) VPN client/server solutions available?
That's a lot of questions for one post... but any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Olivier
