Synology Highlights Next-Gen Data Protection for South Asia Enterprises Ahead of World Backup Day
Targeting the enterprise data protection market
in India, Synology Inc. unveiled its new ActiveProtect Appliance series,
designed for fast deployment and efficient data protection. With World Backup
Day approaching, Synology underscores the critical need for mid-sized to large
enterprises to safeguard against data loss, breaches, and ransomware.
As a global leader in private cloud, managing
520+ exabytes of data across 13 million servers, and trusted by over half of
the Fortune 500, Synology delivers reliable, secure, and flexible solutions for
businesses to protect and optimize their data. Synology protects over 25
million workloads worldwide, ensuring business continuity and data resilience
across diverse industries.
In the SAARC region, the rising wave of
ransomware attacks—expected to grow by more than 50% in 2025—has significantly
increased demand for robust data protection. A notable incident is the 2024
attack on a key financial technology provider, which crippled nearly 300 local
banks. As a result, the regional backup and recovery market is projected to
grow at an annual rate of approximately 10% through 2029, highlighting the
urgent need for enhanced cyber resilience.
Recognizing the growing cybersecurity
threats and data management complexities, Synology introduces the ActiveProtect
Appliance, a next-gen backup and recovery solution. This new lineup enhances
backup speeds, ransomware resilience, and usability, ensuring robust cyber
resilience for modern enterprises.
During the event, Synology
product experts gave an in-depth demonstration of ActiveProtect, which is
designed to address the growing complexities of securing critical enterprise
data.
Key Highlights of the
ActiveProtect Appliances:
● Enhanced Ransomware Protection:
Advanced security protocols and secure your data with immutability and isolate
your data with air-gapped backups to ensure robust data integrity and access
control.
● Unified Management Interface: Single
user interface mechanism enables effortless monitoring and control with
scalable cluster architecture simplifies management for 150,000 devices and
optimizes data visibility.
● Simplified Enterprise-Grade
Protection at a Lower Cost: Compared to traditional backup solutions, the implementation
cost of this solution averages only 20%. With its software-hardware integrated
design, installation, maintenance, and support require significantly less time,
making enterprise-grade data protection more accessible to businesses of all
sizes.
“Data
is the foundation of every company, and building a cyber-resilient environment
is crucial today,” said [Russell Chen], [Synology’s Country Manager of the
SAARC Region]. “The demand for a scalable, secure, and user-friendly data
protection solution has never been greater, and ActiveProtect is positioned to
meet that need in the SAARC region. We look forward to seeing how it empowers
enterprises to secure their most valuable assets with greater ease.”
The event also featured live
demonstrations of the Synology ActiveProtect Appliance, showcasing its diverse
restoration capabilities for business continuity. From regular recovery to
disaster scenarios, the solution enables enterprises to quickly and efficiently
restore operations, safeguarding critical data and minimizing downtime.
Unlike traditional backup software,
which often requires complex integrations with multiple hardware devices and
licenses—resulting in high software costs per workload license mechanism and
complicated pricing based on uncertain storage capacity—Synology offers a
streamlined, cost-effective approach. With pricing based on nodes and free
licensing for up to three servers, businesses can better estimate costs while
ensuring robust data protection.
