“Since the launch of object storage, organizations have been discovering numerous uses for this technology, especially for storing unstructured data and supporting operations such as application development, archiving large volumes of data, and backup and restore,” explains Victor Wang, General Manager of Synology in Southern Europe. “At Synology, we wanted to contribute with our new C2 Object service, which will allow companies to get started with object storage and grow with them.”.

One of the leading service providers is Amazon Web Services (AWS), through its Amazon S3 service, which offers an API for companies to design their own services based on its popular technology.

Thanks to its compatibility with Amazon S3, C2 Object Storage offers users the ability to create a sophisticated object storage architecture, using existing tools and code for various user use cases, such as creating a data lake, hosting web and multimedia assets, and even running and developing applications in the cloud.

C2 Object Storage also allows users to upload multiple files simply by dragging and dropping, and manage all C2 content from a simple web portal, using an intuitive file browser.

Another key feature of Synology C2 Object Storage is its pricing policy, which doesn't charge API request fees or data deletion fees. The provider only charges users based on storage usage and downloads.

For just $6.99 per month, organizations can use 1 terabyte of storage space with no additional transfer charges. For any additional traffic, such as web streaming or web asset hosting, where data needs to be downloaded constantly and repeatedly, C2 Object Storage charges only $0.10 per gigabyte.

Synology has launched a special trial offer that includes 15 GB of free storage and encourages interested parties to contact them to discuss any more specific requirements.

Synology's C2 Object Storage is now available through Synology distributors and partners.
