(L-R) Synology Marketing Director Mike Chen and Synology Sales Account Manager Victor Wang present the Active Backup Suite and Synology Replacement Service (SRS) as the newest updates to Synology’s innovative solutions for Filipino consumers and enterprises.

Synology, leading network attached storage (NAS), IP surveillance and network equipment provider introduces its newest products, Active Backup Suite and Service Replacement Service (SRS) for Philippines SMBs and SMEs today. Founded in 2000, Synology has transformed the way users worldwide manage data, perform surveillance, and manage the network in the cloud age. Being named as the top NAS provider in the Business Choice Awards 2018 by PC Mag, Synology’s products have set new benchmarks in the IT space. “We design our solutions to enable our customers to run their businesses in the most efficient and secure way possible. ASEAN Summit, Midori Hotel, JetStar Pacific, and Holiday Inn are successful examples.” said Mike Chen, Marketing Director of Synology.  Synology’s sales revenue in the ASEAN increased 30 percent in the first half of 2018, and the momentum is expected to continue in the future. Remarkably, Philippines has a great need of NAS because of the country’s impressive development, the market is witnessing an amazing growth of more than 50% this year which is the highest in the region. Given the positive feedback from the market, Synology is going to dedicate more resources in Philippines to raise brand awareness and looks for more collaboration with various segments. Improved hardware replacement service Synology launches its Synology Replacement Service (SRS) in the Philippines to enable SMBs to maximize server availability and protect investments. Applicable to all current rackmount NAS servers, the service offers free two-way shipping for replacement products and collection of defective hardware as early as the next business day once the application is approved. SRS provides timely support to reduce service downtime caused by unexpected hardware failure. Users can also check the application process online. All-in-one data protection for servers, virtual machines & cloud workloads Synology also unveils its complete business backup solution—the Active Backup Suite comprising the Active Backup for Business, Active Backup for G Suite and Office 365—which protects scattered data in physical, virtual and cloud workloads. The Active Backup for Business provides protection for various workloads from PCs, Windows and Linux servers, and virtual machines through one centralized console on a single Synology NAS. It supports incremental backup, global deduplication and versatile ways of restoring data. The integration with Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) allows users to replicate a production environment for a temporary disaster site. The Active Backup for G Suite allows businesses to control and protect corporate data stored on the G Suite by backing up and centralizing it to Synology NAS, while Active Backup for Office 365 provides an on-premise backup solution that protects corporate data created and stored on cloud devices. Innovating to stay ahead Synology stays on top of current and emerging trends such as AI, Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) and 5G to offer solutions relevant to market needs.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): Synology brings much more value to its users through AI (deep learning). Its latest photo management solution, the Synology Moments, enables image recognition and auto categorization by integrating the deep learning technology, which is also planned for integration in the company’s video surveillance solution.
  • Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI): Synology has been developing its NAS technology based on the HCI concept by combining computing, storage and networking in a single NAS. The recently released Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) not only enables simple administration of virtual machines running on Synology NAS but also allows distribution of hardware resources for greater flexibility and cost effectiveness, making hyper converged infrastructure accessible and affordable for SMBs.
  • 5G: With the bandwidth upgrade allowing for higher quality multimedia files, 5G will offer greater sharing and streaming experiences by addressing the demand for larger storage space. In the new era of 5G, Synology’s mobile apps will elevate your NAS experience and smooth your workflow and everyday life.
