While we build our on-prem SP 2013 we are playing with free o365 A2.
We have about 2TB of production content and about 5000 acitve users, with a potential 20,000 users.
Maybe 500 users using advanced services like excel services, infopath, workflows and data connectivity.
Wondering...
- Safe bet to consider free o365 A2 as our production farm for SP 2013? No issues with capacity, performance and availabiity we should anticipate?
- If we don't know who the 500 users needing A3 are, how can we license?
- A2 does not offer 99% uptime. What will that mean to us?
- Data retension, backups and DR? Good cloud backup options?
- Should we worry about users storing and sharing sensitive and protected data on the cloud? Can we stop it? Can we inexpensively log and report on who accessed what accross all sites and content? Can we trust MS to keep us safe? If not MS then who can we trust these days right?
- Challenges with getting to on-prem datasources from the cloud? We know what they are and are prepared to address these as they come in with interfaces.
- Best way to get 2007 content up to o365/SPO 2013? I understand there are 3rd party migration tools (like quest) that enable us to skip 2010.
