Synology servers, storage and backup

Servers and storage

What Synology makes

Synology makes network storage for rack (RackStation) and desk (DiskStation), with backup software included at no extra licence. It is a common choice for a second copy on site alongside a backup in the cloud.

The trade-off

Why Synology, and where it stops

Synology gives you storage and backup in one appliance you can run without a specialist, and Active Backup for Business covers workstations, servers and Microsoft 365 without separate licences per component. Do remember that one box in one location is not a backup strategy; the second copy somewhere else is the real subject here.

What the price depends on

We do not run a webshop, so there is no rate here that would not apply to your situation anyway. What is here is what the amount depends on, so you know what to send along to get one quickly.

Model and configurationWithin one product line the gap between the entry model and the heaviest variant is large. Tell us what the device has to do and we pick the configuration that fits, rather than the most expensive one that would.
The quantityOn a larger batch the per-device price comes down. Twenty at once is a different conversation from two, even when everything else is equal.
What has to be on itA device delivered with your settings, software and security costs more than a box, and saves an installation day per unit. That is a choice, not a surcharge.
Delivery and installationTo one address or to fifteen sites, with or without on-site placement, with or without taking away what was there. That difference is in the price and it is yours to steer.
Buying or renting, and for how longThe same equipment can be a purchase or a monthly amount across three or four years. That changes not only the figure but where it lands in the books, and it is the conversation with the most in it.

What we do around Synology

Supplying equipment is one thing. A network that holds on the busiest day is the work that follows.

Design before anything is orderedThe building and the usage first, the equipment second. A quote without a design is a guess with a price on it.
Configuration that is recordedSettings live in version control, so a replacement device runs like the old one within the hour.
Segmentation from the startGuest network, office and equipment kept apart, so one infected device does not take the rest with it.
Monitoring on itLines and equipment are watched, so a fault is known to us before you call.

What Synology plugs into

What it hangs together with in practice. If you already run these, the brand fits onto what is there instead of beside it.

Frequently asked

Do you supply Synology on its own, without management?

Yes. We supply and configure, and whether the management stays with us is a separate choice. What we do not do is hand over a box and leave the rest to you.

Which Synology equipment do you supply?

The business lines: RackStation, DiskStation, Active Backup for Business. What fits follows from the number of sites, the number of devices and what is coming in the next few years.

Can you take over an existing network?

Yes, and that always starts with documenting what is there. At a handover it is usually the documentation that is missing, not the equipment.
