Synology company has introduced its new ActiveProtect devices. It is an innovative line of data protection that combines centralized management with a highly scalable architecture in order to offer the best data protection possible.
“The launch of ActiveProtect reflects Synology’s ongoing commitment to provide our users with the tools necessary to manage their most valuable asset: data,” says Ivan Gento, International Marketing Manager at Synology.
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, companies face unprecedented challenges when it comes to safeguarding their data. With the new ActiveProtect offering, Synology aims to empower organizations of all sizes to address cybersecurity challenges.
Key features of ActiveProtect:
Centralized management: ActiveProtect centralizes policies, tasks, and data protection devices across the organization, offering a unified management and control plane. This includes comprehensive coverage for endpoints, servers, hypervisors, storage systems, databases, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace services, significantly reducing blind spots and the need to operate multiple data protection solutions.
Ease of deployment and management: IT teams can quickly deploy ActiveProtect devices in a matter of minutes and create comprehensive data protection plans through global policies via a centralized console. Designed to be intuitive, the solution significantly reduces operational overhead by implementing immutability and air gapping policies.
Scalability: each device can operate autonomously or be managed in a cluster, expanding its storage capacity in combination with Synology’s NAS/SAN solutions, C2 Object Storage, and other ActiveProtect cluster devices. Existing Synology Active Backup for Business deployments are manageable from the unified interface, providing great deployment flexibility.
Performance and efficiency: they use incremental backups with source-side, global, and cross-site deduplication, ensuring fast backups and replication with minimal bandwidth usage. ActiveProtect is up to 7 times faster at performing backups, with a typical deduplication ratio of over 2:1, significantly reducing operational costs.
“Organizations are tasked with maintaining overly complex and costly data protection strategies. With ActiveProtect, we aim to solve all challenges at once,” declares Gento. “ActiveProtect is the culmination of extensive research, development, and experience working with our clients. We are confident in delivering a solution that will exceed the expectations of modern businesses,” he concludes.
