Hi All,
Not sure if what i'm asking for exists (or is even feasible)..
The company I work for has numerous sites across Europe and some of them only hold 2/3 staff. As such we've decided to remove the local servers from these sites and store all files centrally in HQ. Hence these staff now access data over the WAN. We've done this at one of these sites already.
Everything is fine with this and we've had no complaints. Speed is fine and although obviously no where near as good as a local server it's perfectly adaquate!!
We're now thinking of continuing with this idea at other sites.
I was wondering if any specific equipment exists that would sit on the WAN end at both sites and would compress the data before transmission? I realiase it could be done with certain Cisco routers but i'm moreso after a specific solution before I go down this route?
Feel free to laugh if i'm talking carp
