Proponents of wireless will say that due to the latest encryption methods that it would take a haakker weeks or months to tap into your network. This may or may not be true. Folks what wants the more powerful haakking tools can find them.
Regarding data storage, TB drives are now in the realm of consumer devices. If you had some real money to throw at data storage you could do this... |
Whoa. That's just like us, if you allow for the 7 orders of magnitude differences in budgets.
We're up to serving 7 TB and will double that by year's end. Last fall (when I asked you about this) we projected 4 TB would be needed by year's end. Our LAN is completely replaced with fiber bundles. I don't know anything about that stuff but it is noticeably faster and much less prone to crashing. Even so, we often use 1/2 TB drives to transfer data. It's faster to walk a large format hard drive to another office than it is to send it over the network.
