Please refer to this MSU Forums thread, as there has been some discussion already, but I'm asking what the community thinks about using Amazon's S3 storage service in conjunction with Jungledisk software for a cost effective, secure, encrypted storage solution that potentially meets university requirements in terms of data security without running into the issue of 'no outside cloud providers' of services. A few words from the 'higher ups' would be helpful. Jungledisk is a one time software purchase that is $20, that encrypts your files with 256bit AES encryption before sending it up to Amazon S3 storage service. To store about 60 gigs of data, costs around $10 a month with Amazon, which is very compelling. http://forums.msu.edu/showthread.php?t=83 Thank you.
