Synology DiskStation: The High-Performance Storage Platform for System Integrators and IT Resellers

Strategic Advantage with Synology DiskStation: The License Cost Revolution

One of the strongest levers in competition is the optimisation of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). While many backup solutions on the market burden your end customers’ budgets with complex, volume- or user-based licensing models, Synology offers a decisive strategic advantage with the DiskStation:

Active Backup for Business – The License-Free Backup Solution

With the integrated Active Backup for Business suite, you can turn the DiskStation into a central backup hub for the entire company – without any additional licensing costs for the included features. For system integrators, this is a major selling point. You can offer your customers professional backup for Windows endpoints, physical servers, virtual machines (VMware vSphere & Microsoft Hyper-V) as well as cloud instances (Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace). The savings on software licensing fees allow you to create more attractive overall packages or optimise your margins in the service sector.

Maximum Data Security with Synology DiskStation: Ransomware Protection with Advanced Protection Mechanisms

In times of cybercrime, resilience against ransomware is a key criterion when selecting storage hardware. The Synology DiskStation uses the modern Btrfs file system to implement advanced protection mechanisms that IT consultants and administrators require to safeguard critical data.

Immutable Snapshots and WORM Storage

Thanks to immutable snapshots, backups can be configured so that they cannot be modified for a defined period of time. Even if an administrator account is compromised or ransomware infects the network, these snapshots provide effective protection against deletion or encryption. This is complemented by WORM (Write Once, Read Many) storage technologies. These ensure that once data is written, it cannot be modified for a defined period – an essential feature for compliant archiving and protection against malicious manipulation.

Synology DiskStation: Performance Without Compromise

The technical performance of the Synology DiskStation is particularly evident in the Plus and XS series models, which are specifically designed for continuous operation in professional environments.

NVMe Caching and High-Speed Networking

To minimise latency in virtualised environments or data-intensive database applications, many DiskStation models feature dedicated M.2 NVMe SSD slots. By using SSD caching, random I/O performance is significantly improved without occupying primary drive bays.

For seamless integration into modern network infrastructures, systems can be upgraded via PCIe expansion slots with 10GbE or 25GbE network cards. This reduces bottlenecks in data transfer and ensures that the DiskStation maintains high performance even with simultaneous access by multiple users. In combination with RAM expansion up to 32 GB or more, these systems can – depending on the model – be used as hosts for Docker containers or virtual machines.

Scalability and Flexibility in Project Business with Synology DiskStation

A key factor for project stakeholders is investment security. The Synology DiskStation grows with your customers’ requirements. With suitable expansion units (DX series), storage capacity can be expanded during operation without requiring migration to a new system. This allows IT service providers to start with smaller configurations and scale capacity as needed – an important aspect for budget planning in SMEs.
