Build A Better World with Data

As businesses are creating more data than ever before, organizations must be able to maximize storage capacity and store as much data as possible without overspending. This is where data deduplication comes in. By using this technique, redundant data is spotted and eliminated before being backed up. This leads to less storage space being used, allowing you to save new data in its place instead. This also ensures that you can efficiently back up your data as you don’t need to spend time backing up duplicate copies of the same data. Keep in mind that each vendor might claim that

As the threat of data loss, data breach, and ransomware attacks keep IT admins up at night, as a PC or Mac user, are you doing your due diligence and safeguarding your endpoint data? It’s important to regularly back up files, folders, and other data stored on your device to ensure peace of mind and easy data recovery if anything goes wrong. With the emergence of Backup as a Service (BaaS) solutions, PC or Mac users can directly back up their data to the cloud as a way to reduce network latency issues and optimize bandwidth. As data is directly

As healthcare data is projected to grow exponentially in the coming years, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and healthcare institutions must ensure patient data is stored safely to provide peace of mind for patients and meet regulatory compliance. If data is not securely stored, there is a chance that hackers or even unauthorized employees may want to break in and steal confidential information and sell it for personal gain. According to a 2023 Healthcare Data Breach report, more than 82 million healthcare records have been exposed or disclosed without permission between January and October 2023. If that happens, healthcare facilities may be

Backup performance is considered one of the most critical elements of data protection. In a survey conducted by Synology that focused on 1,500 IT decision-makers, more than half of the respondents ranked backup speed as one of their primary challenges. Sluggish backups can stall an organization's production processes. And if a backup task exceeds its designated time frame, it has the potential to linger indefinitely, leaving critical workloads unprotected. As an essential service safeguarding data stored on Synology systems, Hyper Backup has supported incremental backup mode since its introduction, reducing the time required for backup tasks. Nevertheless, with businesses accumulating

Inspired by the trend towards digital transformation, industry leaders are actively contemplating how to effectively utilize technology to enhance organizational productivity. Surveillance systems, in particular, have been widely adopted by businesses to transition from traditional, passive security roles to ones that actively boost productivity. This is due to their ability to instantly identify on-site events and comprehensively record work activity. To leverage surveillance systems in augmenting business productivity and efficiency, the integration between different systems becomes crucial. For example, in a real-world application of digital transformation in manufacturing, integrating the surveillance system with manufacturing execution systems can be beneficial. Before

With the emergence of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, education has evolved to include online learning, leading to a rising demand for efficient data management. SaaS services are often used for storing educational data from various platforms and institutes to meet changing IT requirements. Microsoft 365 services now provide students and faculty members with the tools they need to collaborate seamlessly as well as safeguard and access their data quickly. Yet, their SaaS data may be not as safe as they think. Schools may have to deal with hackers that impersonate cloud

Syncing your data is an essential step that many users and businesses implement on a regular basis. However, note that syncing your data does not equate to backing up your data. Syncing your data also does not guarantee that your data can be recovered in the event of a disaster. In this blog post, let’s find out the differences between syncing and backing up your data: What is data synchronization and how does it work? When managing your data, a lot of users assume that data synchronization is equivalent to data backup. That couldn’t be farther away from the truth.

When it comes to data management, awareness of the various backup and recovery strategies is crucial. Many corporations follow strict backup practices to prevent data loss in case of accidental deletion or ransomware attacks. This is to ensure that corporate data can be easily retrieved no matter what happens. However, certain backup methods may strain IT resources, which could lead to network latency issues or system instability. To solve these issues, you need to implement backup types that meet your requirements. In this blog post, let’s take a look at three types of backups: full, differential, and incremental backups. Comparing

Cloud storage has become the go-to choice for businesses, with over 60% of enterprise files now residing in the cloud, and a staggering 94% of businesses worldwide embracing cloud storage solutions (GoodFirms, 2023). However, with nearly half of cloud-stored data classified as sensitive information, including employee and customer data, financial records, and intellectual property, it is projected that cloud storage spending will increase by 13% to reach $135.1 billion by 2026 (IDC, 2023). This rapid growth of data presents two significant challenges for enterprises: rising storage costs and data privacy concerns. Public Cloud Challenges     Rising costs for businesses
