Synology
Storage platform for managing business data.
Synology is a storage platform that provides central data storage within an IT estate.
Operational considerations include data protection, access controls, backup and recovery, firmware and software updates, capacity and performance, network placement and hardware lifecycle.
Where Synology fits
It connects to servers, user devices, backup and archive systems and the network infrastructure, and commonly presents storage to other systems.
It must be considered across the estate because it holds business data, affects availability and recovery, and requires access controls, backups, patching and ongoing lifecycle management; the organisation remains responsible for monitoring and incident handling.
