This article is contributed by Ms. Joanne Weng, Sales Director at Synology

In today’s business landscape, managing extensive amounts of data has become crucial for enterprises across various industries. Whether optimizing manufacturing operations, analyzing consumer behaviour in retail, safeguarding financial data, or dealing with rapid data growth in the media sector, the challenges of data management persist. To address these challenges effectively, businesses must seek cost-efficient solutions that offer scalability, ease of use, and robust security measures.

Synology, a leading provider of data management solutions, presents a comprehensive approach to addressing the demands of data storage and protection. Leveraging insights gained from serving over 150,000 clients worldwide, Synology offers tailored solutions that precisely meet the needs of businesses in Malaysia. Here are three crucial aspects for evaluating costs when implementing massive storage solutions:

1. Scalability: Anticipate Data Growth Patterns

Businesses must assess their current storage needs and anticipate future growth to select appropriate hardware without overspending. Synology identifies two main types of companies—those with substantial existing data or clear estimates of future storage needs for the next 3-5 years, and those with limited current data and uncertain growth rates, requiring gradual capacity expansion based on actual needs.

2. Ease of use: Prioritize Ease of Management and Software Integration

After selecting hardware to accommodate future data growth, businesses must also assess software compatibility and user-friendliness for both current and prospective IT operations and maintenance.

Numerous businesses opt for large-scale storage devices as their file servers or centralized data repositories for endpoint protection. These solutions necessitate diverse management features, login mechanisms, and platforms for user access or backup services. Nonetheless, not all solutions seamlessly integrate hardware and software, and some may incur additional licensing or subscription expenses, which can accumulate over time.

Synology tackles this challenge by crafting user-friendly data management and protection software applications, specifically designed to streamline the learning process for IT professionals. Furthermore, these applications come bundled with Synology’s hardware purchase, offering both budget flexibility and alternative deployment options for businesses.

3.  Robust security measures: Ensure Comprehensive Data protection

Lastly, when storing large and critical data volumes, businesses must ensure the security mechanisms to prevent breaches or loss due to accidents or malicious attacks. Synology emphasizes two key aspects: hardware availability and data protection measurements.

Businesses should consider whether the solution offers high availability mechanisms, multi-path redundancy, and support for Out-of-Band Management for remote access. Additionally, comprehensive backup solutions and advanced security features like Synology offers, Write Once Read Many (WORM) and immutable backup technology, are imperative to meet evolving cybersecurity requirements.
