Digital asset protection

Powered by Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), Synology NAS offers advanced security measures to protect against sudden data loss and potential security holes. Learn more

  • Security Advisor : Analyze system settings, password strength and network preferences, and remove any possible malware.
  • AppArmor : A kernel-level enhancement that blocks malicious programs from accessing unauthorized system resources.
  • AES 256-bit encryption : ncrypt shared folders and network data transmission to avoid unauthorized data access.
  • 2-step verification : Prevent others from logging in to your DSM by generating a six-digit one-time password (OTP) on your mobile device.

Complete iSCSI and virtualization solutions

Synology iSCSI storage supports most virtualization solutions such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xen Server, and OpenStack Cinder to enhance work efficiency. You can run and manage multiple virtual machines on Windows, Linux, or DSM using Virtual Machine Manager. 

Next-generation file system for better data protection

The Btrfs file system introduces advanced storage technologies and optimized snapshots to prevent data corruption and reduce maintenance overhead. While ensuring high-level data integrity, it also offers flexible, efficient data protection and recovery tools.

  • Flexible shared folder and user quota settings provide comprehensive quota control on all user accounts and shared folder
  • Snapshot Replication provides schedulable and storage capacity-saving data protection with 1,024 shared folder backups and 65,000 system-wide snapshots
  • File- or folder-level data restoration accelerates data recovery and provides more flexibility for businesses
