When office internet speeds are limited, it's difficult for employees who work from home to connect to the office network via VPN and access files simultaneously. The solution is to set up a hybrid environment of a cloud file server and an on-premises file server so that employees in the office can still access files locally and remote employees can access files from the cloud.
There is a design and architecture firm in a city where the only Internet service provider offers upload speeds of only 50 megabits per second (Mbps). Users are connected to a file server of about 5 - 10 TB to access files in the office. However, with the mobilization of the workforce and the proliferation of the work-from-home model, employees who worked from home found it difficult to access their files, resulting in lost productivity. With more remote users connecting to office facilities, companies like this were struggling with bandwidth capacity issues. The much heavier load was straining the connections of the company's infrastructure. Employees working remotely either did not have access to the Internet, or their connections were so poor that they hurt productivity. Internet speed in the office became a bottleneck, causing users to struggle with latency when accessing files remotely.
Since the local ISP could not solve the slow uplink problem without a significant infrastructure upgrade, the company considered moving the file server to the cloud. There are two different strategies for this. The first is "lift-and-shift", the second is the combination of cloud file server and local file server.
Lift-and-shift is easier if the Internet in the office is fast, so a site-to-site VPN between the office firewall and the cloud virtual network acts like part of the local network.
The hybrid cloud file server is a good balance between the local file server and the cloud file server, so employees in the local office can still use the file server over a local network.
Suppose the file server's data set is more than one TB, with unique custom applications, databases, Adobe, AutoCAD, Mac users, or other factors mentioned above. In this case, the IT team may not want to try SharePoint for the following reasons.
Businesses in rural areas with slow upload bandwidths have no choice but to find an alternative way to keep their employees productive as the population shifts to the work-from-home model. They also want to provide a local copy of sensitive data if Internet access fails for security and ownership reasons. They found a solution that allowed them to migrate their on-premises data to Azure and bypass connectivity issues for employees. They wanted bulletproof security to prevent employees from downloading or copying sensitive data to their personal computers or devices.

Triofox adds version control and file protection from cloud storage to the local file server.
The default method for accessing file servers in Azure/AWS is to use a VPN agent. However, VPN requires an active connection to the file servers and does not support offline edit mode. Therefore, Internet interruptions can disrupt a user's typical workflow.
A great way to use Azure/Aws file servers is to map a drive to the file server over a VPN. The frequent exchange of request and response messages between the local drive and the remote server, without local caching, makes it difficult to browse large folders.
Working with large files is not easy, even with a VPN agent connecting to the file server in the cloud. Applications like Photoshop or AutoCAD usually generate large files and use many linked files. These applications suffer from a slow VPN.
Triofox eliminates the common drawbacks of a file server and a cloud-based file sharing solution and provides the best of both worlds - the security and control of traditional file servers combined with the efficiency and productivity of cloud collaboration.
