Josh Lin, Director of Video Surveillance solutions at Synology, explains how Surveillance Station 9.2.5 marks a major milestone, with a significant jump from 8,900 to more than 17,000 supported cameras. Video surveillance systems rarely start from a blank page. Today, most organizations already have cameras deployed to protect workplaces, retail locations, warehouses. As they scale, additional compliance and security requirements follow. That’s often when the limits of traditional, rigid video surveillance architectures show up, especially when it’s time to expand, modernize, or merge data across multiple sites. Camera Compatibility Yes, we make cameras too. Synology cameras are designed to work

As businesses increasingly move workloads to the cloud, more organizations are realizing the importance of protecting cloud data. In fact, according to Infrascale, 76% of MSPs in the U.S. now focus on backing up cloud applications for their clients. Among these, Microsoft 365 remains the most common service customers rely on MSPs to protect. Today, most MSPs have already deployed established Microsoft 365 backup solutions for their clients. These solutions generally cover the basics, yet often lack the depth MSPs need and come with higher overall costs. It’s time to rethink whether your current Microsoft 365 backup is truly helping

Authored by Rex Huang, Director at Synology Enterprise Application Group behind solutions such as Synology Drive, Office, MailPlus, Calendar, and Chat. It’s been ten years since we first released what would become Synology Office. Back in 2015, the package launched as Spreadsheet, a real-time collaborative spreadsheet tool. As part of DSM 6.0, we soon added documents and then slides, and the suite evolved into what you know today as Synology Office. Since then, we’ve been steadily adding capabilities: new formulas, pivot tables, APIs, AI integration, and dozens of smaller enhancements. Through it all, we’ve stayed true to the original promise:

Manufacturers worldwide are experiencing an unprecedented workforce crisis. In 2025, ManpowerGroup reported that up to 74% of businesses globally were unable to fill open positions, the highest level in recent years. Despite these shortages, it might seem surprising given the strong push toward automation and digital transformation. According to McKinsey, 88% of organizations report regular AI use in at least one business function, up from 78% a year earlier, yet nearly two-thirds are still experimenting or piloting and only about one-third have begun to scale AI across the enterprise. However, not all manufacturing roles can be automated quickly or cost-effectively.

Modern businesses today are facing unprecedented data security challenges. Rampant ransomware attacks, insider attacks, and malicious data deletions are occurring at an alarming rate. This could lead to corporate data vanishing overnight, causing significant financial losses and damaging corporate reputation. Most organizations today have some form of data protection in place, but storing backups alone isn’t enough. If the backups are tampered with, deleted, or encrypted by hackers, there is a big possibility that businesses won’t be able to recover their data. This is why it’s important to go beyond backing up data and start protecting backups as well. Companies

With the rate at which ransomware is evolving, companies must take into consideration key data protection concepts as they implement, revamp, or update their existing backup infrastructure. This ensures that businesses can restore data and resume operations immediately when faced with sudden data loss. Here are some key red flags to keep in mind when reviewing or crafting a cyber resilient data protection strategy: Red flag #1 Incomplete backups There’s a possibility that companies might forget to back up new workloads. If the data hasn’t been backed up, it might be forgotten. Or worse. Lost during a ransomware attack, only
