A story about how once a protected transformer laptop forgot the safe word and was subjected to all possible tortures in our test lab. He died, but the life in him was not extinguished. The industry of secure laptops is developing along with the growing demand for such devices from medium-sized businesses: today, on a livestock farm, in a woodworking shop, on a drilling platform, and even in a geoloc tent, everything is computerized, and the concept of IoT + Edge (read our article about the ...

Well, the time has come for more or less affordable switches for 2.5 Gigabit networks with copper cable and 10G on optics. In this model, even 1-gigabit ports are forwarded to a common matrix, which is why even on small packets high speed is maintained. And you know that 10 Gigabit Ethernet was introduced back in 2006, and was created mainly for file servers of small companies, and after a decade and a half, it still remains a novelty for many consumers in the small business environment.

For cases where you need to build an entire network of IP cameras, Synology offers Surveillance CMS technology, which allows you to manage all your NVRs based on Synology NAS from a single window, dynamically allocate licenses to connected cameras, as well as set up backup video surveillance servers in case of hardware failure and move IP cameras between them. In large organizations, there is often a need for centralized video surveillance management in branch offices, remote offices or ...

In this article, we will look at the advantages offered by RAID arrays and compare four IDE RAID controllers from manufacturers such as 3ware, Adaptec, HighPoint and Promise. Today hard drive manufacturers are very tough competition among themselves. In this struggle, they are forced to increase the volume of their hard drives, releasing larger and larger disks. Unfortunately, the volume of media is often counterbalanced by their reliability. Most HDD manufacturers have already reduced the ...

Finding out if your backup and restore systems are working well is much more difficult than just knowing how long the backup process takes. Meeting the baseline requirements is a prerequisite for properly evaluating your system to determine if it is performing well or needs to be redesigned. Finding out if your backup and recovery systems are working well is much more difficult than just knowing how long the backup process takes. Meeting the baseline requirements is a prerequisite for ...

The amount of data stored in the world not only continues to grow, but is growing faster than predicted. It was expected that the share of data stored on flash and solid state drives would increase, while the amount of data stored on hard drives and tape would decrease. However, today it is clear that all three technologies continue to evolve simply because they require a lot of storage capacities. Where are we going to store this much data? Thanks to engineers and programmers, the capacity ...

Synology now has a free solution to back up and restore all of its infrastructure, including virtual machines, desktops, Windows servers, and NAS. We tested all its features, measured the speed and evaluated the pros and cons of this package. In 2010, the founder of Veeam Software, Ratmir Timashev, said in one of his interviews that the main thing for backups is the recovery process, how fast, easy and reliable it is. Today Veeam software solutions have become the de facto standard in large ...

This is a 5-disk file server, expandable to 10 disks using an external module. This NAS has a 2-core processor that can achieve speeds of up to 200 MB/s, and the third generation Synology Disk Station Manager with a multitasking web-based window interface allows you to make any settings faster and easier. What is interesting about this NAS for small businesses and what are its fundamental differences from competitors, we will consider in this article. Today, those who choose a NAS for ...
