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

Data backup ensures you have a copy of your important data in case of unforeseen incidents. Consider the following eye-opening statistics: downtime can cost enterprises typically $5,600 per minute, according to Gartner, and shockingly, the Cybercrime Magazine reports that approximately 60% of small businesses had to shut down within six months after being hacked. These numbers clearly highlight the significance of having a robust data backup strategy as part of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. By being prepared and implementing a reliable data backup plan, you can reduce the risks associated with data loss and ensure the continuity of your

While many businesses rely heavily on Microsoft 365, formerly named as “Office 365”, for their daily operations, the potential risks cannot not be overlooked.By understanding the risks and the critical need for Microsoft 365 backup, you can take proactive measures to safeguard your data and ensure business continuity. What is Microsoft 365 Backup and Why Do You Need It? While Microsoft 365 provides a certain level of built-in data protection, it is not sufficient to guarantee complete data security and recovery in case of unexpected events. Therefore, you will need a dedicated Microsoft 365 backup solutions to protect against accidental

Taipei, Taiwan—02 June 2023—With Computex 2023, one of the world’s leading technology trade shows was back on, and with it Synology’s traditional product showcase. Held from May 30 to June 2 at Taipei’s new POPOP Maker Space, the Synology Solution Exhibition presented the brand’s newest solutions for data management, backup, video surveillance, and cloud services. Innovation and excellence in data storage Eye-catchers at the event included new dual-controller systems, SA3400D and UC3400, that epitomize high availability from the get-go. As has come to be expected of Synology, both systems facilitate seamless data management while ensuring maximum uptime for organizations of

Building an efficient data management infrastructure is crucial for businesses of any size. As organizations continue to increase the amount of data they acquire, consume, and share across departments and with the outside world, demand for flexible and reliable storage solutions is stronger than ever. The coming year will see a series of updates to our DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system and Synology C2 cloud infrastructure that will deliver better scalability, dependability, and mobility to new and existing deployments. These will bring teams the agility to manage data at scale while maintaining the security and control they need to streamline

Safe and intelligent storage systems are key to keeping a business running. This is no different for backup systems used to protect IT infrastructure. Synology storage solutions include our Active Backup suite, a powerful family of applications introduced in 2018 to safeguard endpoints, servers, VMs, and even Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts. At the same time, many businesses run third-party backup software to store backups on their Synology system. In fact, Synology's range of converged NAS/SAN storage systems has been deployed at tens of thousands of companies worldwide, including nearly half of Fortune 500 companies, to store business-critical data and

Work pressure and irregular staffing make holiday seasons the perfect occasion for threat actors. Besides direct attacks on your infrastructure, phishing and other scams targeting employees also take a flight in the weeks before Christmas. Routine maintenance becomes difficult with fewer hands to do the job. Add working from home to the mix, and it looks like you (sysadmin, reboot consultant, designated IT person) will be holding the fort this holiday. Do you have other plans for your holidays? Luckily, so do we. That’s why we’ve worked on some tools to make large deployments easier to manage and easier to

Synology introduced an entirely redesigned DiskStation Manager (DSM) in the online event, 2021 AND BEYOND. DSM is the unified operating system powering Synology data management solutions, and version 7.0 brings new technologies for storage, backup, and hybrid cloud. "Unprecedented quantities of data have undergone processing, whether for data analytics, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, telemedicine, or for countless more innovations. All of this is making a huge impact on our lifestyle and the way we do business, forming a "data economy" where owning more data gives you a competitive edge against others," said Philip Wong, Synology founder and Chief Executive

One of our most important goals in 2019 was “reliability.” To get there, we changed many of our internal development policies and methods. Let’s take a brief look back at what we did, and a sneak peek at what's coming in 2020. DSM We made eight releases1 in 2019, a significantly lower amount than in previous years. It isn’t a sign that we’re slowing down development but instead reflects our new focus on reliability. We adopted a slower update cadence to allow more time for additional rounds of internal testing. Stages a typical DSM update goes through: Automated In-Development Testing

A robust, cost-efficient platform for 3D professionals “Storage used to play a secondary role in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and yet it has a critical role to play in the field of cloud-based 3D rendering and image processing,” said Dr. Kuo, a researcher in the National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC) in Taiwan. With the rise of 3D trends, high-end CPUs alone can no longer meet the demands of independent artists and production companies. 3D rendering requires more computing power from the GPU, along with massive storage and stronger throughput performance. Though the mission is to become an internationally renowned HPC center
