Smartphones have revolutionized photography, offering an accessible and convenient option for capturing life’s moments. However, the ease of smartphone photography has presented an ongoing challenge - the effective management of albums and storage. Thus, it is paramount for users to find a reliable solution for consistent organization and maintenance of photo albums. Synology Photos is an on-premise photo management solution designed to accommodate the needs of smartphone users, making it easy for them to store and organize their memories while their personal data remains fully private. However, on-premise photo management solutions often grapple with challenges such as power outages or

Software vulnerabilities are among the most commonly exploited breaches by cybercriminals, from the SolarWinds attack impacting over 18,000 organizations to the Log4j vulnerability affecting over 48.3 percent of organizations globally. Vendors’ security risk management abilities are being challenged now more than ever before. When it comes to security risk management, incident response is usually the first thing that comes to mind. While it is crucial to have an incident response plan in place to address the aftermath of a breach, it is equally important to prioritize software security at the development stage to prevent such incidents from occurring in the

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

Even as IT threats grow more diverse and sophisticated, administrators and email services are forced to expend significant resources protecting users against classic email spam. For as long as email exists, users (and especially companies) have had to cope with unsolicited messages in the form of junk mail. At best, spam emails can carry aggressive marketing messages about questionable products and services. At worst, they may be tools for phishing or fraud campaigns and other scams. An evolving challenge for admins Nearly 320 billion emails are sent and received every day. Of these, up to 50% may be spam. According

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

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link One thing many people overlook in a storage system is how the actual drives that go into the system play a vital role in determining the overall dependability of the solution. At the same time, business environments also demand more. They require performance and predictability. Why we're introducing our HAT5300 enterprise hard drives Synology can control what components we use in our NAS. We also design and thoroughly test our DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system and software ecosystem on our devices to ensure they work well together. But how do

When it comes to keeping your personal information secure, don’t take anyone at their word — use encryption. Since the first Data Privacy Day back in 2007, online privacy threats have multiplied. On top of more traditional threats like phishing — which has been around since at least the early 1990s — users today face more sophisticated risks, including those linked to the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, “older” threats remain highly relevant, as evidenced by a recent wave of ransomware attacks that not only lock user data but now have evolved to also threaten to leak

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
