In the globalized era, more companies have teams working in different parts of the world
that all require access to the same sets of files. Synology’s cross-office file syncing
and sharing solution seamlessly synchronizes data across individual sites, so that
employees can focus on delivering the best results.
Make data available on your global file servers
A Synology NAS can not only serve as their local file server but also keep
specific folders synchronized on every NAS in real-time – just by installing the
Synology Drive packages.
Customizable syncing : One-way or bi-directional syncing can be set
up depending on whether you want to push materials to branch offices.
Reduce bandwidth consumption & faster local access : Each office
only needs to sync the files once to their NAS. All its employees can then
access them on a network drive at LAN speeds.
Change propagation : When edits are made to a file on a Synology NAS,
only the changes are replicated instead of the whole file, so as to minimize
bandwidth usage.
Flexible storage option : Branch offices of different sizes can
choose from a wide range of models, starting from one-bay desktop NAS to
180-bay rack mount servers.
Better control over versions and permissions
With the amount of data exchanged between different sites every day, Synology
provides you with tools to set up proper control against inadvertent data
breaches.
Historical versions : Up to 32 versions can be retained and restored
by employees themselves in case they want to go back to a specific point in
time, while Intelliversioning helps you keep the most important changes.
Account management : IT admins at company headquarters can choose to
manage global employee accounts by joining all NAS to the central Windows AD
(including Azure AD) or LDAP domain, or offload the management to local
admins by letting them set up user accounts for their server.
Windows ACL & data quota : Support for Windows ACL enables admins
to assign granular permissions to different departments, whereas user and
shared folder-based quota minimize the chance of someone accidentally using
up too much storage space.
Introduce a cloud experience to on-premises servers
More and more modern-day workers become used to the convenience of public clouds,
and that’s something you can offer them using Synology as well — on your own
private cloud.
Anytime, anywhere access : For your salesforce on the road, Synology
Drive allows them to retrieve files through a web portal, a mobile app, or
even syncing the required folders to their computers for offline access.
Real-time collaboration & external sharing : With Synology
Office, multiple users can now simultaneously work on the same documents,
spreadsheets or slides. Shared links can be generated for any files or
folders when it’s time to deliver to external clients.
