Key features of ActiveProtect
• Centralized management: ActiveProtect centralizes data protection policies, tasks, and devices across the entire organization, providing a unified management and control plane. This includes comprehensive coverage for endpoints, servers, hypervisors, storage systems, databases, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace services, reducing blind spots and the need to operate multiple data protection solutions.
• Easy deployment and management: IT teams can quickly deploy ActiveProtect devices in minutes and create comprehensive data protection plans using global policies through a centralized console. Designed to be intuitive, the solution reduces operational overhead by implementing immutability and air-gapping policies.
• Scalability: Each device can operate independently or be managed in a cluster, expanding its storage capacity in combination with Synology NAS/SAN solutions, C2 Object Storage, and other ActiveProtect devices in the cluster. Existing Synology Active Backup for Business deployments are manageable from the unified interface, providing great deployment flexibility.
• Performance and efficiency: They utilize incremental backups with source-side, global, and cross-site deduplication, ensuring fast backups and replication with minimal bandwidth usage. ActiveProtect is up to 7 times faster at performing backups, with a typical deduplication ratio of over 2:1, reducing operating costs.
"Organizations face the challenge of maintaining overly complex and costly data protection strategies. With ActiveProtect, we aim to address all these challenges at once," says Gento. "ActiveProtect is the culmination of extensive research, development, and experience working with our customers. We are confident in delivering a solution that will exceed the expectations of modern businesses," he concludes.
