Synology, a leading provider of All-in-One solutions for home offices and small businesses, has announced the release of its latest product, the 2-bay Synology DiskStation DS723+. This compact desktop storage solution offers comprehensive features to protect and manage business data, collaborate on documents, access files remotely, and monitor physical assets.

The DS723+ is powered by the versatile Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which ensures seamless performance and functionality. Despite its small size, this unit delivers impressive performance and capability. It is perfect for those with smaller storage requirements who still want the convenience of centralized storage and the ability to scale in the future.

One of the standout features of the DS723+ is its expandability options. It can scale up to 7 drive bays with a DX517 expansion unit, making it ideal for teams of professionals or small businesses looking to step into the world of centralized storage. Additionally, users have the option to add 10GbE connectivity and M.2 NVMe SSD drives through the built-in PCIe slot, enabling fast caching or creating additional all-flash storage pools.

The DS723+ also offers seamless integration with cloud services. It provides intuitive file management and sharing through Synology Drive, which combines cross-platform file access with the privacy and security offered by on-premises storage. For teams working remotely or businesses operating across multiple locations, site-to-site file syncing is available to mirror content between Synology devices. The hybrid cloud capabilities provided by Synology Hybrid Share allow users to store cold data in the cloud while keeping frequently accessed files cached on the local device for LAN-speed access.

Data protection is a top priority for businesses, and the DS723+ offers robust backup solutions. With Synology’s Active Backup Suite, users can easily back up Windows and Linux systems, Hyper-V/VMware VMs, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace accounts onto the DS723+. This ensures critical or sensitive data is protected against ransomware and other cyber threats. Additionally, users can create backups and point-in-time snapshots of the data stored on the NAS, which can then be secured offsite on another server or in the cloud.

For businesses that require surveillance capabilities, the DS723+ has got you covered. It supports over 8,300 validated IP cameras and ONVIF devices, turning it into a full-fledged video management system with Synology Surveillance Station VMS. The footage is stored privately on-site, and users can easily set up and manage up to 40 cameras through a modern and customizable interface. The option to overlay floor plans or maps when monitoring larger or multiple building environments adds to the convenience. Failover between recording servers, multi-device management, and the ability to simultaneously record footage to the Synology C2 cloud enhance the resiliency and availability of important recordings.

The Synology DS723+ is now available through Synology partners and resellers worldwide at an MSRP of $449.99. With its compact size, expandability options, cloud integration, data protection features, and surveillance capabilities, this storage solution is an excellent choice for home offices and small businesses looking for a versatile and reliable storage solution.

Technology Explained

NAS: Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a specialized storage device or server that provides centralized data storage and access over a network, usually using Ethernet connections. NAS systems are designed to offer a convenient and efficient way to store and share files among multiple users or devices within a home or office environment. Unlike traditional storage solutions, NAS devices operate independently and have their own operating systems and management interfaces. They are characterized by easy setup and configuration, making them accessible even to users with limited technical expertise. NAS devices can offer various features, including data redundancy through RAID configurations, remote access over the internet, automatic backup, media streaming, and even application hosting in some advanced models. As a versatile and user-friendly storage solution, NAS has become a popular choice for both personal and small business use.

SSD: A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a modern data storage device that employs flash memory technology to store data electronically. Unlike traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), SSDs have no moving parts, resulting in significantly faster read and write speeds. This leads to quicker boot times, faster application loading, and smoother overall system performance. SSDs are known for their durability, shock resistance, and energy efficiency, making them ideal for laptops, ultrabooks, and other portable devices. They come in various form factors, including 2.5-inch, M.2, and PCIe cards, and are favored for their reliability, quiet operation, and reduced heat generation
