[sudo-discuss] Possible to set up a server to host Omni QB?

[danarauz at gmail.com]

I have installed QB in windows machines, about two or three times in the
last five years. Less than a year ago was my last time. So I am not an
expert; but what I noticed is that perhaps having it on the cloud would be
the easiest; because otherwise we will have to host a share folder in our
network and it means each user that will use it will have to have their
machine configure to point to that share, so the file can be accessed and
reflect current data. A basic setup (with out VPN access) will allow to
connect to this share only if computer are connected to our network. This
doesn't cost much, but it requires a reliable server; and I don't think we
are there just yet..

Now, if a VPN server is is set up then users can access that shared folder;
but I am not sure we can provide this reliability, besides that user learn
how to connect their VPN to our network first, also.

Like, I said, I am not an expert, but I think having a subscription on the
cloud would be best.

Others please jump in and correct me if I am wrong.

Daniel
