Build A Better World with Data

According to Nutanix's healthcare report, 72% of healthcare IT professionals now name data sovereignty as a must-include factor in infrastructure decisions. Data sovereignty is becoming an increasingly important consideration for healthcare IT. Traditionally, protecting healthcare data has focused primarily on security: preventing sensitive information from being leaked, altered, or lost. Today, the discussion is expanding beyond security to sovereignty—whether healthcare organizations truly control their data. So what does this shift actually mean for healthcare IT? Let's take a closer look. Data sovereignty is redefining how healthcare data is managed Data sovereignty has gained urgency in recent years as healthcare data

Did you know that hackers are now directly targeting backups? They’re no longer only targeting servers, corporate systems, or business-critical applications. According to a Sophos study, attackers have attempted to compromise backups in over 94% of ransomware attacks. Over half of those attacks (57%) were successful, greatly undermining an organization’s ability to recover data.  Ensuring the security of their backups is now a top priority for enterprises. This is where offline backups come in. With offline backups, data is physically disconnected from the network, so ransomware cannot access the backups, thus establishing a line of defense against ransomware. Physical isolation

With more businesses adopting Proxmox VE, Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) has quickly become a popular backup choice due to its native integration. However, as IT environments become more complex and cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations need to ask: Is PBS still sufficient to meet enterprise-grade data protection needs? PBS: Native simplicity for Proxmox VE Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is the native backup solution for Proxmox VE. As an open-source solution, it is free to use, with optional enterprise subscriptions available for technical support. It provides essential backup capabilities, including incremental backups, deduplication capabilities, and multiple recovery options. It also

As Broadcom's VMware licensing changes push more organizations to explore alternatives, Proxmox VE has become one of the most common choices for migration. But before making the move, you should already know how you're going to back it up. Migration projects often focus on computing resources, storage, and networking, while backup planning is often left until after migration is complete. That's when organizations discover that their backup solution may not deliver the same level of protection they expected. Not all Proxmox VE support is built the same Today, many backup vendors advertise Proxmox VE support. However, support capabilities vary significantly

With the rise of AI-powered ransomware, companies need a proactive data protection solution capable of securing data. Synology’s data protection lineup, called ActiveProtect, is a purpose-built backup appliance designed to provide enterprise-level data protection for businesses of all sizes. No company is immune to ransomware—not even small to mid-size businesses. With ActiveProtect Manager (APM) 2.0, Synology ActiveProtect takes data protection one step further by introducing proactive cyber resilience capabilities, including AI-based anomaly detection, pre-recovery malware scans, storage-based encryption, as well as granular options for role-based access controls. Combined with existing security features such as WORM and air-gapping, ActiveProtect helps businesses

For years, VMware was the first choice for enterprise virtualization. That changed after Broadcom acquired VMware in 2023. Perpetual licenses were discontinued, subscriptions became mandatory, and product bundles were restructured. When organizations renewed their contracts, many saw licensing costs increase by 150% to 300%.That shock set something in motion. The question is no longer whether to look at alternatives—it's which alternative actually fits your business needs. The top three VMware alternatives According to a survey, 71% of organizations are considering migrating to another on-premises hypervisor. Here's how the alternatives compare. Microsoft Hyper-V: Best for Microsoft-centric environments As Hyper-V is built

In today’s modern IT world, data protection is an essential part of business operations. Backups serve as a final line of defense amid ransomware threats, human errors, and large-scale operational disruptions. Companies might face a dilemma. If a company relies only on incremental backups, then in the future any corruption in the backup chain will render all subsequent versions unusable for restoration. If companies need to spend considerable time performing full backups regularly, this would require substantial network bandwidth and storage resources. To help companies solve this dilemma, Synology has developed the SURE (Synology Unified Reduction Engine) technology, which optimizes

IT infrastructure is more than hardware. It's the confidence that expert support is there when you need it most. A well-designed IT infrastructure is almost invisible. Data is always available, applications run smoothly, users can work without interruption, and backups happen automatically in the background. It's only when something goes wrong that the value of reliable support becomes truly apparent. How quickly will the vendor respond to a support request? How long will it take to replace faulty hardware? Can you consult infrastructure plans with technical experts who understand your environment? For organizations where business continuity depends on IT availability,

Bandwidth shouldn't be the bottleneck for cloud surveillance—the key lies in whether the architecture is smart enough. Every layer of Surveillance365 is designed to keep the system reliable under real-world network conditions." ── Barney Yeh, Manager of Video Surveillance Solutions at Synology For organizations managing large-scale video surveillance deployments, controlling bandwidth consumption is a common operational challenge. In bandwidth-constrained environments—such as remote locations, temporary monitoring stations, or sites with high camera density—teams often find themselves forced to trade off between image clarity and network availability. This challenge is even more pronounced for cloud-based VSaaS (Video Surveillance as a Service) deployments.
