Jakarta, Selular.ID – Entering the digital era, accessing data can be easier. For beginner business people and also MSME activists, access to data from anywhere and anytime is inevitable. If you have ever stored data on a public cloud service, it may be worth trying a more effective and efficient NAS solution.
As is well known, public cloud platforms have drawbacks. Indeed, your data can be accessed from many devices, but there are monthly fees that are usually not cheap. Not to mention that our data is stored publicly, not privately.
A more appropriate solution for storing your data is to use a NAS. What is NAS? Abbreviation for Network Attached Storage, is a storage area connected to the internet. So it can be accessed by many devices and without monthly fees, of course. Apart from hardware, you can also get software without additional licenses.
Long term investment
Data stored on the NAS can be accessed from PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs, and other electronic devices connected to the internet. NAS is also equipped with data protection software that automatically backs up data, so data will not be lost (unless deleted). So it’s very safe.
Plus, using a NAS is the best long-term investment. Just pay once (upon purchase), without monthly fees.
As your business grows, NAS is also easy to scale, aka add capacity as needed. Hard drive replacement is also quite easy.
One NAS manufacturer, Synology for example, has a highly scalable NAS product line. Good for home use, MSMEs, to enterprises. Transferring data with Synology NAS is also easy with the built-in software, at no additional cost either.
More Productive
When the WFH protocol began to be adopted, many companies chose to work from home for employee safety. Having a device that can be accessed from anywhere and from any device safely can make work more productive.
One Synology device itself can be accessed by up to thousands of users / devices simultaneously. This will be very useful for companies starting startups and MSMEs, where this NAS can adjust to the needs of its users. You can start small, and easily upgrade your storage when needed. NAS is the right choice and economical.
You can learn more about NAS file storage through a webinar held by Synology next week. List here free.
Easier Collaboration
Sharing files or folders has never been easier. In Synology NAS there is built-in software, namely Synology Drive. The service, previously known as Cloud Station, is the Dropbox version of Synology. But instead of using the public cloud, Synlogy uses your own private cloud. So of course there is no need for additional license fees.
You can share files safely, because they are equipped with validation features and user permissions. Data sync can also be done automatically or manually between PCs and NAS, so it’s very useful for those of you who often work remotely.
With the addition of the on-demand sync feature in the Synology Drive, you can easily access files on the Synology NAS directly without having to use up the capacity of the user’s computer.
Synchronizing data between offices can be done easily, so that IT admins can synchronize files from the head office and distribute files with other branch offices. Employees can also edit / work together on Docoments, Slides, Sheets simultaneously at the same time without any problems with the built-in features of Synology Office.
Comprehensive Data Protection
Afraid of ransomware threats? Enterprises can build 3-2-1 backup plans to protect business digital assets with other built-in applications by Synology. You can back up data on physical, virtual, and cloud devices at the same time.
Apart from that, you can also protect the data in the NAS by backing up to various other backup destinations, such as to the public cloud, via rsync, or a USB drive. Offsite protection can also be applied to other Synology NAS for fast disaster recovery. Establishing comprehensive data protection can protect your critical business data from ransomware attacks.
Compatible in All IT Environments
Full support for Microsoft AD, Azure AD and LDAP allows you to easily move files and Access Control List (ACL) from Windows Server to Synology NAS so that they can be integrated with your existing system.
By choosing the right file server solution, digital transformation is no longer a problem for business people. Apart from easier implementation, the right solution can also increase productivity and reduce problems such as a growing workforce, high total cost of ownership, hard to scale, working remotely, and the need for data security.
As a complete yet affordable solution for enterprises, especially SMBs, NAS can be the right choice to complement the shortcomings of traditional servers and cloud services.
