We are looking to replace our normal Win2008 R2 File server with a Azure Cloud based solution. Our Current use scenario is something like this:
Server A, Location A
Hosts 4gb of Data
Server B, Location B
Hosts 4gb of Data
Server A and B are Replicated.
Users access Data like:
\Domain-Name\DFSShare\ShareName
Many have Mapped Drives to the DFS Shares.
Can I use the Azure Storage to Replace this? I’d like to still have the users map Drives to the same shared storage areas on Azure.
I Would also need the same Security Permissions setup so all the users have the same permissions that they do for the Existing File Server storage. So I’d like Active Directly Integration.
Is this something that Azure Storage can do for me?
Thanks!
Might I recommend a product like StorSimple? This will accomplish the type of functionality you’re after without need for costly development.
