Why Synology Over Other NAS Solutions

When organizations need reliable network-attached storage, Synology provides an intuitive interface that doesn’t require technical expertise to set up and manage. For small organizations that need to store and share files, Synology makes NAS management accessible without the complexity of custom solutions. They’re not the cheapest option on the market, but they strike a good balance between cost and reliability for most of our clients’ needs. They also have lots of flexible options for specialized use cases, like media servers or surveillance storage, which can be a nice bonus for clients with those needs. Most of their products also support running Docker containers, which can be a great way to add extra functionality without needing additional hardware.

Key Benefits for Our Clients

The biggest thing is that Synology’s products just work. They’re reliable, easy to set up, and have a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for non-technical users to manage their storage. They also have a strong track record of regular updates and good customer support, which gives our clients confidence that their data will be safe and accessible. The flexibility of their products also means we can leverage them to enable other solutions without needing to invest in additional hardware.

Projects Using Synology

Network Storage Setup for The Excel Group

We replaced it with a Synology NAS, migrating everything around frequently failing hardware, and the new device has run without interruption since.
