Synology’s ActiveProtect: The Future of Scalable Business Data Protection

Synology is set to make waves in the world of business data protection with the launch of its new ActiveProtect appliances in Taiwan and beyond, including Australia. Designed to deliver centralized management and scalable architecture, ActiveProtect aims to simplify and enhance the way businesses safeguard their most crucial asset—data.

Philip Wong, Chairman and CEO of Synology, emphasizes the company’s commitment: “The launch of ActiveProtect reflects Synology’s unceasing dedication to empowering our users. In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses face unprecedented challenges in safeguarding their data. With the new ActiveProtect offering, we aim to empower organizations of all sizes to address cybersecurity challenges head-on.”

ActiveProtect isn’t just another data protection tool; it’s a comprehensive solution that centralizes policies, tasks, and appliances across an organization. By integrating endpoints, servers, hypervisors, storage systems, databases, and services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, it drastically reduces IT blind spots and eliminates the need for multiple data protection solutions.

Jia-Yu Liu, Executive Vice President at Synology, highlights the innovative approach: “Organizations are tasked with maintaining overly complex and costly data protection strategies, and we aim to solve all the challenges at once with ActiveProtect. This solution is the culmination of extensive research, development, and experience working with our customers. We are confident in delivering a solution that will exceed modern businesses’ expectations.”

One of the standout features of ActiveProtect is its ease of deployment and management. IT teams can set up the appliances in minutes and create comprehensive data protection plans via global policies from a centralized console. The system is designed to be intuitive, significantly reducing operational overhead. Features like immutability and air-gapping policies, combined with streamlined recovery procedures, ensure that managing data protection is both straightforward and efficient.

ActiveProtect’s flexible architecture means it can grow with your business. Each appliance can function independently or as part of a cluster. Storage capacity can be tiered using Synology NAS/SAN storage solutions, C2 Object Storage, and other ActiveProtect appliances. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with existing Synology Active Backup for Business deployments, offering unparalleled deployment flexibility.

The new appliances are built for performance. Utilizing incremental backups with source-side, global, and cross-site deduplication, ActiveProtect ensures fast backups and replication while minimizing bandwidth usage. ActiveProtect offers a typical deduplication ratio of over 2:1, which significantly reduces operating costs.

With ActiveProtect, Synology is not just addressing the current needs of data protection but is also setting a new standard for the future. Businesses looking for a scalable, efficient, and comprehensive data protection solution need look no further.
