Hi Terry,

Before you get inundated, search the site threads for PCOIP, there's quite a lot of discussions about zero/thin clients/vdi etc which would certainly cover one major alternative for the first part of your question. We don't transfer anything over the wire, we own, lease or peer fibre (or at worst, fork out for a decent buiness connection) and deliver the lot to the site. Either direct to a TC or by putting a workstation there and delivering net/storage.

As for the legal/trust issues... Big man with stick?

Hey everyone, As the times change we are seeing a bigger need to have freelancers and artist working offsite or at home. This raises ALL kinds of security issues and complications for working in a intigrated pipeline. I would love to hear what kinds of policies and procedures other studios use to deal with this. everything, from are you using encrypted transfer devices to move data? Do you use FTP or a more secure delivery system for people to move data back and forth? Do remote users have to have compnay equipment? If not how do you insure that their equipment is secure, safe or even licensensed leaglly. Do you care? Do you have them just sign an NDA and then don't worry about it? How do, you ensure that the project data is removed from their machine when they are done? I know different studios have different views on this and smaller studios usually are pretty casual about this but as you start getting larger this becomes a very sticky issue. Any information and guidance would be great. Thanks -Terry
