Synology held Solution Day 2025 – with 200 attendees, and unveiled its resilience enterprise solutions, and shared findings from its regional enterprise survey, providing strategies for businesses to strengthen their cyber resilience.
“Enterprises in the UAE are increasingly adopting hybrid cloud strategies to gain flexibility and drive innovation,” said Antoine Yang, Regional Sales Manager at Synology. “While hybrid approaches offer clear advantages, securely and efficiently managing multiple environments remains a challenge. This makes it crucial for businesses to implement strategies that balance security, performance, and cost efficiency, ensuring true cyber resiliency.”
Amid increasing IT complexity, the Synology 2025 Enterprise Survey reveals that many organisations in the MEA region remain vulnerable to cyber risks:
- Fewer than 18% of enterprises are confident in addressing rising cyber threats, while 32% experienced data loss or security incidents in the past year.
- 84% of IT leaders prioritise security in IT infrastructure, underscoring the demand for trusted solutions.
- 55% of businesses cite data protection and disaster recovery as the main drivers of data growth in the coming year — highlighting the importance of scalable storage for business continuity.
- Despite awareness of the need for resilience, 63.52% of IT leaders struggle with cost challenges in maintaining continuity.
These findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive cyber resilience strategies that safeguard data, maintain continuity, and simplify IT management.
At the event, Synology showcases its enterprise storage solutions, including the high-performance PAS Series with active-active dual controllers and end-to-end NVMe technology, designed to deliver performance meeting high availability. The GS Series scale-out system is also featured, supporting PB-level capacity across multiple nodes for growing enterprise needs.
With the recent release of DP7200 and APM1.1, Synology showcases new ActiveProtect updates that deliver expanded workload support, strengthened cyber resilience, and simplified compliance. The updates enhance core features such as immutability and air-gap technologies, including Write Once, Read Many (WORM) to prevent unauthorised deletions and network isolation for secure access. Together, these capabilities support a robust 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy with offsite backups and immutable copies, helping organizations safeguard critical data and maintain business continuity.
Digital transformation is vital for organisational sustainability. Beyond Synology Office Suite with real-time collaboration tools, Synology introduces a unified communication platform with integrated messaging and video conferencing, and showcase AI-driven productivity tools for document management, all controlled through the Synology AI Console. Businesses can enhance these tools with on-premises AI server integration and custom AI agents to optimise workflows.
“In markets like the UAE, where control, cost efficiency, and scalability are paramount, our approach ensures that data stays local, protected, and easy to manage — while giving enterprises the flexibility to grow with confidence,” said Antoine Yang.
