Synology® unveils DiskStation® DS423+ and DS423 for home and small business
Taipei, Taiwan—15 March 2023—Synology has announced the release of two 4-bay Synology DiskStations, the DS423+ and DS423, the latest in its lineup of all-in-one storage solutions for home offices and small businesses.
Powered by the versatile Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, both storage servers offer comprehensive solutions to protect and manage business data, facilitate collaboration on documents, provide remote file access, and serve as the core of an IP camera-based surveillance system, all within a compact desktop format.
DS423+: Sync and back up endpoint data to a centralized platform
With a maximum raw storage capacity of 72 terabytes, the DS423+ is ideal for teams of professionals, small businesses looking to step into the world of centralized storage, or to serve as an edge node in distributed deployments.
"The DS423+ offers exceptional value to users with limited storage requirements," said Anya Lin, Product Manager at Synology Inc. "It boasts 21% faster photo indexing over its predecessor, among other performance improvements, and continues to offer the comprehensive and robust features that our customers have come to rely on."
The DS423+ delivers intuitive file management and sharing with Synology Drive, which combines cross-platform file access with the privacy offered by on-premises storage. For teams working remotely and businesses operating across multiple locations, site-to-site file syncing is available to mirror content between Synology devices.
In addition, existing IT infrastructure can be protected against data loss due to system failure or cybersecurity threats using Synology Active Backup Suite. Active Backup allows IT infrastructure, such as Windows and Linux systems, Hyper-V/VMware VMs, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace accounts, to be safely backed up onto the DS423+ and quickly restored when needed.
Businesses can also set up and manage up to 40 cameras on the DS423+ with Surveillance Station, which makes it easy to encrypt, backup, and archive recordings, as well as record footage simultaneously to the cloud using optional C2 Surveillance from Synology. Surveillance Station is highly scalable and suitable for deployments of all sizes — from small business deployments with a few cameras to large-scale deployments with thousands of cameras between hundreds of locations.
DS423: Access Synology solutions to store, back up, and view data
With a maximum storage capacity of 72 terabytes, the DS423's size and capacity makes it perfect for remote employees or small businesses looking to consolidate data on a centralized platform and gain access to feature-rich Synology applications.
"As a compact data storage solution, DS423 comes with everything users need," said Michael Wang, Product Manager at Synology Inc. "From backing up data, managing files and other media, to setting up a surveillance system to protect premises, the DS423 comes with a host of power-packed features in a small unit."
The DS423 comes with Synology Drive for reliable file management, sharing, and syncing via PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, allowing users to access their data anywhere. In addition, businesses with remote employees or those operating across multiple locations can leverage Synology Drive ShareSync to sync data between multiple Synology devices scattered across different locations, keeping everyone on the team aligned.
Businesses can connect up to 30 cameras to Surveillance Station, a powerful surveillance system that allows users to back up, encrypt, and archive footage from multiple servers via a built-in central management system. Footage can also simultaneously be stored to the cloud with Synology C2 Surveillance. Surveillance Station comes with support for ONVIF devices and over 8,300 validated IP cameras to make deployment as easy as possible.
