Cloud based file storage

[Matt Marmet <matt.marmet () ARMSTRONG EDU>]

Good afternoon all,



We here at Armstrong are looking at the possibility of using a cloud based
storage solution for both file sharing and user storage. The solution I
would like to see would be a hybrid of on-site storage for our
sensitive/confidential data and the cloud based storage for everything
else. I was wondering if anyone is currently is using this model? If so, I
have two questions: 1) What cloud solution did you go with? 2) Do you have
a policy or guideline that covers the data as far as what can go where in
each of the storage solutions?



I am also interested to see what others may have as far as policies
covering cloud based solutions when it comes to the Universities data. I
have seen some that just flat out say that their policy is that you cannot
use it.



Thanks for the feedback,



Matt
