So I have limited IT knowledge, but my business is looking to get rid of our Small Business Server and put everything into the cloud. I'm a little confused on finding the right solutions that work for what we need.
With Exchange I can run Office 365, however I still have questions on that. To get rid of my server I also have to have files somewhere and I was looking into Microsoft SkyDrive Pro which based on using SkyDrive for personal use that seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. However I feel like I can't find clear answers if SkyDrive Pro is integrated into Office 360 automatically and how much storage there is? I found something stating file storage 10 GB and 500 MB each additional user in Office 365 and assuming that is basically SkyDrive Pro?
My main question with losing Microsoft SBS to control users from a central location and set up new users on machines so I can control. I looked at Microsoft Intune and that seems to help control updates, software, etc, but can't find anything that states that would also set up new users and settings on a new machine? Basically I will have remote locations and will need to change and set up new users on these remote machines like I do with SBS now in our local office. Any recommendations on solutions to allow me to control users on remote machines?
Lastly still little confused with everything I've looked at if solution like Microsoft Intune would completely replace antivirus/malware software like Trend Micro that I currently use? Would I still need to deploy Trend Micro (which they have a cloud solution now also) on all my machines along with something like Intune?
Once quick last question also is does anyone know of a good and affordable employee monitoring software. I've had some hardware solutions proposed a long time ago, but just want to track primarily what employees are doing online and have looked at a couple software solutions and not sure if they are good or not. On our server now I have GFI but seems to always lock up the machine and have never used it and IT guy that installed I no longer use.
Thanks!!!! Seth
