As organizations adopt new software tools to run their business, they often struggle with fragmented systems, leading to inefficiencies, data duplication, and security risks. On average, companies use 93 different applications, with large enterprises (2,000+ employees) managing over 231 (Okta, 2024), the majority of which are business productivity apps. This productivity software sprawl forces employees to waste nearly an hour daily searching for files, switching between countless tabs, and tracking down the right data (Cornell & Qatalog, 2021). Poor integration between productivity apps not only disrupts workflows but also expands attack surfaces, making security harder to manage: 90% of business-critical

Managing projects, tracking progress, and communicating tasks are daily essentials for organizations, with many turning to productivity SaaS solutions to enable real-time collaboration and drive business growth. However, using multiple services can scatter files, reduce efficiency, and increase the risk of data leaks. Additionally, maintaining various platforms is costly in terms of time and resources for IT teams. According to a report by Varonis, over 80% of organizations have unintentionally exposed sensitive data through SaaS productivity tools. This alarming statistic reveals that data leaks could potentially lead to losses exceeding $28 million USD for a single company, highlighting a critical

For schools that have relied on productivity SaaS solutions for years, it’s a pivotal moment to reassess long-term needs and explore alternatives that offer greater stability, flexibility, and control. As cloud adoption in education expands, productivity SaaS plans continue to evolve. With Google Workspace for Education ending free unlimited storage in 2022 and Microsoft’s recent updates to 365 Education offerings, institutions with thousands of faculty and students are facing significant cost and resource impacts. How do these plans impact education institutions? By January 2025, Microsoft will make significant changes to its Microsoft 365 Education plans, including retiring the Office 365

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

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.

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

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
