“The demand for a scalable, secure, and user-friendly data protection solution has never been greater, and ActiveProtect is positioned to meet that need in the SAARC region.”
– Russell Chen, Country Manager – India & SAARC, Synology
In the SAARC region, the rising wave of ransomware attacks—expected to grow by more than 50% in 2025—has significantly increased demand for robust data protection. A notable incident is the 2024 attack on a key financial technology provider, which crippled nearly 300 local banks. As a result, the regional backup and recovery market is projected to grow at an annual rate of approximately 10% through 2029, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cyber resilience.
Recognizing the growing cybersecurity threats and data management complexities, Synology introduces the ActiveProtect Appliance, a next-gen backup and recovery solution. This new lineup enhances backup speeds, ransomware resilience, and usability, ensuring robust cyber resilience for modern enterprises.
During the event, Synology product experts gave an in-depth demonstration of ActiveProtect, which is designed to address the growing complexities of securing critical enterprise data.
Key Highlights of the ActiveProtect Appliances:
- Enhanced Ransomware Protection: Advanced security protocols and secure your data with immutability and isolate your data with air-gapped backups to ensure robust data integrity and access control.
- Unified Management Interface: Single user interface mechanism enables effortless monitoring and control with scalable cluster architecture simplifies management for 150,000 devices and optimizes data visibility.
- Simplified Enterprise-Grade Protection at a Lower Cost: Compared to traditional backup solutions, the implementation cost of this solution averages only 20%. With its software-hardware integrated design, installation, maintenance, and support require significantly less time, making enterprise-grade data protection more accessible to businesses of all sizes.
“Data is the foundation of every company, and building a cyber-resilient environment is crucial today,” said Russell Chen, Synology’s Country Manager – India & SAARC. “The demand for a scalable, secure, and user-friendly data protection solution has never been greater, and ActiveProtect is positioned to meet that need in the SAARC region. We look forward to seeing how it empowers enterprises to secure their most valuable assets with greater ease.”
The event also featured live demonstrations of the Synology ActiveProtect Appliance, showcasing its diverse restoration capabilities for business continuity. From regular recovery to disaster scenarios, the solution enables enterprises to quickly and efficiently restore operations, safeguarding critical data and minimizing downtime.
Unlike traditional backup software, which often requires complex integrations with multiple hardware devices and licenses—resulting in high software costs per workload license mechanism and complicated pricing based on uncertain storage capacity—Synology offers a streamlined, cost-effective approach. With pricing based on nodes and free licensing for up to three servers, businesses can better estimate costs while ensuring robust data protection.
ActiveProtect is now available for purchase through Synology’s authorized distributors and partners.
