Have you considered a VPN tunnel between your two locations ?

Subject: Data Transfer problem


Hi all,


I need a faster secure way to transfer some data with volume over 1tb.

At the moment all data passed over is 256 bit encrypted, with
appropriate controls of passwords etc. We have to date been using LTO
tapes for this, but this is very slow and the recipient have had some
physical problems. Consequently we are looking for a faster method.

The recipient would like to transfer data using a NAS box. This would
need to be attached as a node on the network. What are the security
implications and is there a more secure way of moving this data.

If NAS is the way to go, is there a very secure type?

Regards

Akin
