Synology Unveils ActiveProtect Appliances for Scalable, Centralized, and Streamlined Business Data Protection
June 5, 2024 - Balkan - Synology today announced the new ActiveProtect appliances, a line of products designed specifically for data protection that combines centralized management for best-in-class usability with a highly scalable architecture.
"The launch of ActiveProtect reflects Synology's unwavering commitment to giving our users the tools to manage their most valuable asset - data," said Philip Wong, Chairman and CEO of Synology. "In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are facing unprecedented challenges in protecting their data. With the new ActiveProtect offering, we aim to empower organizations of all sizes to tackle cybersecurity challenges head-on."
ActiveProtect centralizes enterprise-wide data protection policies, tasks, and appliances, providing a unified management and control plane. Comprehensive coverage of endpoints, servers, hypervisors, storage systems, databases, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace services significantly reduces IT blind spots and the need to run multiple data protection solutions.
"Enterprises are faced with the task of maintaining overly complex and costly data protection strategies, and we aim to solve all of these challenges at once with ActiveProtect," said Jia-Yu Liu, Executive Vice President at Synology. "ActiveProtect is the result of extensive research, development, and experience working with our customers. We are confident to deliver a solution that will exceed the expectations of modern businesses."
Easy deployment and management
IT teams can deploy ActiveProtect appliances in minutes and create comprehensive data protection plans with global policies from a central console. From implementing immutability and air-gapping policies to performing restore operations, ActiveProtect is designed to be intuitive to use, significantly reducing operational overhead.
Scalable for any organization
Each ActiveProtect appliance can operate in standalone or cluster mode. Storage capacity can be combined with Synology NAS/SAN storage solutions, C2 Object Storage, and other ActiveProtect appliances in the cluster. In addition, existing Synology Active Backup for Business deployments can be managed through the unified interface, providing high deployment flexibility.
Fast and efficient
Purpose-built ActiveProtect appliances use incremental backups with source-side, global, and cross-site deduplication to ensure fast backups and replications with minimal bandwidth usage. ActiveProtect is up to 7x faster at data protection with a typical deduplication ratio of over 2:1, significantly reducing operational costs.
