In the digital world, not all letters are created equal. You've likely felt this, even if you couldn't name the problem. Perhaps you're a designer putting the final touches on a masterpiece in macOS. You name it something perfectly descriptive, like Project Árvore - Final Proposal (ü).psd. You copy it to a USB drive or upload it to a generic cloud folder to share with a client using a Windows PC. Then you see it—the filename distorted beyond recognition, or worse, duplicated into near-clones—and a quiet panic creeps in, and you wonder, did I do something wrong? The answer to the

In surveillance applications, losing even a single frame can mean missing crucial details, affecting event reconstruction and security accuracy. However, due to their wireless nature, Wi-Fi cameras are susceptible to network fluctuations, leading to unstable video transmission and even frame loss. To address this issue, Synology has developed Seamless Recording Recovery (SRR) technology, which leverages edge recording to automatically recover lost footage caused by network instability, ensuring the continuity of surveillance video. Core Mechanisms of Video Transmission and Network Challenges for Wi-Fi Cameras In surveillance systems, real-time video transmission is critical and relies on multiple protocols and technologies to ensure

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

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

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

The past years have seen a dramatic escalation in cybersecurity threats. According to a report by The New York Times, more than 200,000 organizations were attacked with ransomware in 2019, a 41% rise from the year before. To help you protect yourself, we’ve compiled a list of important data security settings that are often overlooked. At the end we’ve included bonus tips that could help you ensure data integrity -- another pillar of data protection. Note: Most of the settings listed below can only be accessed and modified by a user account with administrative rights. Tip 1: Disable the default

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

Eliminating the I/O bottleneck HDD vs. SSD: Why difference matters There’s an ongoing battle between HDDs and SDDs, both of which have their own pros and cons. An HDD is composed of an actuator, read/write arm, spindle, and platters onto which data is stored. When dealing with high traffic of read/write requests (especially for a large number of small-sized files), the platter spins and read/write head keeps moving to search for data scattered on the drive in a non-contiguous manner. That’s when latency kicks in. An SDD, however, has no moving parts and uses flash memory to store data, which

Breaking the performance barrier Considering the data growth in 2020 will reach 44 zettabytes, according to IDC research, businesses are faced with the need to boost data processing performance. From a file server’s standpoint, enhancing IOPS has become more and more important. The utilization of SSD cache would be of great help. However, the output bandwidth must be aligned with higher IOPS or it would become a waste, especially since we’re living in the collaboration era where a storage server should be smoothly serving multiple users at the same time. 10GbE might be the way out. Some enterprises might construct
