Edge storage for distributed teams

Provide secure and convenient multi-platform file access, sharing, and synchronisation across different locations.
Private file cloud
    Enable effective collaboration with Synology Drive
    Synology Drive provides remote data access, synchronisation, on-demand file restoration, and backup via handy desktop and mobile applications.
    Multi-platform support
    Access personal and shared data from mobile app, desktop client, web browser, or another Synology system. Any changes you make are automatically synced to other devices as soon as they are connected.

Efficient multi-site synchronisation
    Connect teams with Hybrid Share
    Utilise Hybrid Share to store large sets of data in the cloud, leveraging the powerful bandwidth of our data centres to stream requested files to local NAS deployed at the branch offices
    Data on demand
    With Hybrid Share-enabled folders, remote teams retain full access to the most up-to-date files while benefiting from reduced local storage footprint and bandwidth usage.
    Cache data used locally
    Frequently accessed files are kept on the local NAS, allowing users to access them at LAN speeds. Files and folders can also be pinned manually to prevent them from being replaced when the cache is full.

Multi-endpoint data protection
Design an effective backup strategy to maximise system availability with a host of native and licence-free solutions.
Consolidated backup server
    Endpoint, VM, and NAS/SAN protection
    Securely back up Windows and Linux endpoints, Synology servers, and VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines with Active Backup for Business.
    Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
    Centralise backups of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data to protect it from accidents and simplify compliance with data retention policies. Schedulable backups, flexible file versioning, and block-level deduplication ensure flexibility and savings in terms of storage and bandwidth consumption.

Data protection and recovery
    Hyper Backup
    Back up files, LUNs, installed applications, and system configurations to destinations including Synology C2 Storage, public cloud platforms, USB devices, file servers, local folders, or other Synology systems. Set and forget backup tasks with regular schedules, enhance security with fine-grained user permissions and encryption, keep backup sizes small with built-in deduplication, and restore data flexibly with multi-versioning.
    Snapshot Replication
    Snapshot Replication enables configurable point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and VM storage with an RPO as low as 5 minutes and recovery within seconds.

Smart surveillance for small deployments
Leverage flexible deployment options, intuitive management capabilities, and advanced video analytics to secure your premises.

    Secure and private
    Footage is stored locally for easier compliance with data protection regulations and further protected from unauthorised access with industry-standard AES-256 encryption.

Flexible monitoring of multiple locations
    Assisted mass deployment
    Automatically locate new cameras within a set IP range, and configure units in batch by importing spreadsheets or replicating settings to new cameras.
    Centralised management and monitoring
    Stay on top of your deployment by previewing triggered events directly on multi-floor or multi-location maps, with online map integration for Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
    Video analytics
    Take advantage of intelligent monitoring features such as motion detection, no idle zone, foreign object detection, and anomaly detection to cater the most common surveillance scenarios.
