DSM 7.0 and C2 cloud expansion

Find IT infrastructure for security products (SSBD)

Issue 3 2021 Infrastructure

Synology has released DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.0 and an expansion of the Synology C2 platform with four new cloud services. Focusing on enhancing security, system management capabilities and improving data collaboration, DSM 7.0 is a step forward for Synology's NAS and SAN product lines. Building upon the success of C2 Storage, Synology is rolling out both hybrid and cloud-only products, including a new password manager, directory as a service, cloud backup and secure file transferring solutions.

“Large amounts of unstructured data is constantly being generated at exponential rates,” said Philip Wong, Synology CEO and founder. “Traditional centralised storage deployments can no longer keep up with ever-increasing bandwidth and performance demands. Edge cloud products, like Synology's storage management line-up are one of the fastest-growing solutions in the market today because they uniquely address the challenges of modern businesses.”

Over eight million Synology data management solutions have been deployed worldwide, each powered by the DSM operating system. DSM combines storage interoperability, backup and data protection capabilities and robust synchronisation and collaboration solutions together to address increasingly distributed workplaces and sources of data.

DSM 7.0, the next leap forward for the platform. Launching together with the new update includes brand new hybrid-cloud services, such as Active Insight, a large-scale device monitoring and diagnostics solution, Hybrid Share, which combines C2 storage flexibility and synchronisation capabilities with on-premises solutions and C2 Identity, a hybrid cloud directory as a service to simplify cross-site domain management. Together with platform improvements such as supporting up to 1 PB volumes, DSM 7.0 also introduces security improvements in the form of Secure SignIn. This new authentication system makes two-factor authentication effortless and straightforward to use.

C2 Password, C2 Transfer and C2 Backup are stand-alone solutions that address modern needs to protect passwords, share sensitive files and back up any endpoints and common SaaS cloud services.
