What is a VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is an encrypted connection over the Internet that connects a device on one network to another device (or multiple devices) on a different, non-public, non-local network.

Security at every turn

SNS Cloud VPN is a secure service for all creative media teams. It only connects your EVO shared storage server with the authorized users and devices you choose, leaving everything else on your network isolated from remote users.

Passwords are never saved in the VPN interface. And users can access their credentials via a secure login, so you don’t have to send sensitive VPN credentials through email, which is less secure.

VPN-enabled shared storage workflows

Physical location is no longer a barrier to creative collaboration.

Creative media professionals can access their media and projects anytime, anywhere with SNS Cloud VPN. Your files are always just a few clicks away so you can get work done from home, on location, or wherever creativity strikes.

And when connected to EVO remotely, you gain access to the entire EVO suite of workflow tools that keeps your team organized and collaborative.

SNS Cloud VPN can also connect your EVO to another EVO you own, bridging any gap in distance. Connect your Los Angeles shared storage to your London office to foster better international team collaboration.

With SNS Cloud VPN connecting your EVO servers around the world, you can schedule remote backup and replication jobs to gain parity across your multinational shared storage systems.

SNS Cloud VPN is an optional service. If you are happy using an alternate VPN or remote desktop software, this Knowledge Base article provides helpful information and tips on remotely connecting to EVO.
