Synology, a Taiwanese corporation specialising in network-attached storage (NAS) appliances, today (October 9) unveiled its resilience enterprise solutions at a key event in Dubai, and shared findings from its regional enterprise survey, providing strategies for businesses to strengthen their cyber resilience.
With the recent release of DP7200 and APM1.1, Synology showcases new ActiveProtect updates that deliver expanded workload support, strengthened cyber resilience, and simplified compliance.
The updates enhance core features such as immutability and air-gap technologies, including Write Once, Read Many (WORM) to prevent unauthorized deletions and network isolation for secure access.
Together, these capabilities support a robust 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy with offsite backups and immutable copies, helping organizations safeguard critical data and maintain business continuity.
The key event, 'Solution Day 2025' was attended by 200 industry players where Synology showcased its enterprise storage solutions, including the high-performance PAS Series with active-active dual controllers and end-to-end NVMe technology, designed to deliver performance meeting high availability.
The GS Series scale-out system was also featured, supporting PB-level capacity across multiple nodes for growing enterprise needs.
Speaking on the occasion, Antoine Yang, Regional Sales Manager at Synology, said: "Enterprises in the UAE are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud strategies to gain flexibility and drive innovation. While hybrid approaches offer clear advantages, securely and efficiently managing multiple environments remains a challenge."
"This makes it crucial for businesses to implement strategies that balance security, performance, and cost efficiency, ensuring true cyber resiliency," he stated.
During the event, Synology released its new 2025 Enterprise Survey results which revealed that many organizations in the MEA region remained vulnerable to cyber risks. The key highlights are:
*Fewer than 18% of enterprises are confident in addressing rising cyber threats, while 32% experienced data loss or security incidents in the past year.
*70% of IT leaders prioritise security in IT infrastructure, underscoring the demand for trusted solutions.
*63% of businesses cite data protection and disaster recovery as the main drivers of data growth in the coming year — highlighting the importance of scalable storage for business continuity.
*Despite awareness of the need for resilience, 63% of IT leaders struggle with cost challenges in maintaining continuity.
These findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies that safeguard data, maintain continuity, and simplify IT management, it added.
Synology officials stressed that digital transformation was vital for organizational sustainability. Beyond Synology Office Suite with real-time collaboration tools, Synology introduces a unified communication platform with integrated messaging and video conferencing, and showcase AI-driven productivity tools for document management, all controlled through the Synology AI Console.
Businesses can enhance these tools with on-premises AI server integration and custom AI agents to optimize workflows.
"In markets like the UAE, where control, cost efficiency, and scalability are paramount, our approach ensures that data stays local, protected, and easy to manage — while giving enterprises the flexibility to grow with confidence," remarked Yang.
"Staying at the forefront of data management, Synology innovates and adapts to ever-evolving technologies, and continues bringing new possibilities to the table, including but not limited to solutions for data storage and backup, file collaboration, video management, and network infrastructure – all designed with one goal in mind – presenting a centralized platform to simplify IT administration while driving digital transformation for businesses worldwide," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
