What Synology equipment do you supply and install?

We supply and install Synology DiskStation and RackStation NAS units, disks, expansion units and the software packages for backup, sync and surveillance.

Is a NAS a replacement for backup?

No. A NAS stores files and protects against a single disk failure, but it still needs its own backup copy, ideally offsite, to protect against deletion, ransomware or theft.

Can a Synology NAS back up our computers and servers?

Yes. Active Backup for Business can back up Windows PCs, servers and virtual machines to the NAS, and we configure and test restores.

Is Synology enough for a growing business, or do we need a full server?

Depends on your workload — Synology is excellent for storage and backup; for application hosting or virtualization, we'll usually pair it with proper server infrastructure.

Does Synology replace the need for cloud backup?

No — we recommend Synology plus an offsite/cloud copy (Hyper Backup), following the same 3-2-1 backup principle we apply across all our backup work.

Can Synology run our CCTV recording too?

Yes, via Surveillance Station — worth discussing if you want to consolidate storage and camera recording on one device.

Storage

Synology NAS Solutions in Dubai

Synology NAS units are a strong fit for businesses that need centralized storage and backup without the cost or complexity of a full enterprise SAN — but a lot of self-purchased units end up misconfigured, with no real backup strategy behind them.

Synology capabilities we deliver

These are the most common Synology-related commercial requirements we handle for Dubai businesses.

DiskStation NAS units sized to actual storage needs and growth, with proper RAID configuration for redundancy
Active Backup for Business — automated backup of endpoints, VMs, and servers to the NAS, not just manual file copying
Synology Drive for secure team file sync and sharing, replacing scattered USB drives or unmanaged cloud folders
Hyper Backup for offsite/cloud copy of NAS data, satisfying the "don't keep your only backup in one place" rule

Synology projects and use cases

Most demand for Synology work in Dubai comes from the following practical implementation needs.

Businesses needing centralized, manageable file storage without a full enterprise SAN budget
Offices wanting proper automated backup instead of relying on manual copies or hoping cloud sync counts as backup
Teams needing secure file sharing that doesn't depend on emailing documents back and forth

Synology products we deploy

Synology storage covers small offices to server rooms. These are the parts that most often appear in our projects.

DiskStation (DS) NAS: compact units for small offices and shared file storage.
RackStation (RS) NAS: rack-mounted units for larger capacity and expansion.
DSM file services: shared folders, permissions, remote access and file sync for staff.
Active Backup for Business: backup of PCs, servers and virtual machines to the NAS.
Hyper Backup and Snapshot Replication: protected copies of the NAS itself, onsite or offsite.
Surveillance Station: recording for IP cameras on the same storage system.

How a Synology project runs with SAS IT

Requirements: how much data, how many users, how fast it grows and what must be recoverable.
Sizing: model, number of bays, disk type and RAID layout chosen for capacity and resilience.
Setup: disks, volumes, user accounts, folder permissions and network connection.
Data migration from old servers or PCs, with permissions kept intact.
Backup: local and offsite copies configured and restored as a test.
Support: monitoring, DSM updates and disk replacement.

Common NAS mistakes we correct

RAID treated as backup, though a deleted file or ransomware affects every disk at once.
Mixed or consumer-grade disks that fail early in a busy business setting.
No second copy offsite, so fire, theft or ransomware can take everything.
Default admin account left active and the NAS exposed to the internet.
Backups never test-restored until the day they are needed.
