Synology has been building network-attached storage for a quarter of a century, and it is one of the platforms we specify most often for organisations who want their data on hardware they own, not just in someone else's cloud.
Data you own and control • No recurring cloud fees
Synology was founded in 2000 as a dedicated network-attached storage (NAS) provider, and storage is still the whole business. It now supports more than 260,000 businesses worldwide, managing over 350 exabytes of data across 13 million shipped systems.
That focus is why Synology sits on our featured partner list. A Synology system is hardware you buy once and own outright, rather than a subscription that keeps billing for as long as you keep the data. It covers storage, backup and video surveillance from one management console, which suits organisations who want a single supplier accountable for all three rather than three separate contracts.
We are a Synology Gold Partner, and we specify, supply and support Synology systems for clients across the UK, from a single office NAS to multi-site backup estates.
– Founded 2000, a dedicated network-attached storage provider
– Used by more than 260,000 businesses worldwide, managing over 350 exabytes of data across 13 million shipped systems
– Three product lines in one platform: NAS storage, IP cameras and video surveillance, and the ActiveProtect backup appliance range
London • 8th October 2026
Synology brings its largest event yet to London for 2026.
A full day of live demos across storage, backup and surveillance, run by Synology's own specialists. Includes a full run-through of ActiveProtect, their all-in-one backup appliance. Lunch included.
Find out what you can expect by watching the 2025 video.
"Not many NAS devices support what we need. Having the option and flexibility to be able to contact Synology with feature requests, knowing that they will be read, researched with a strong chance they will be put into production is fantastic and reassuring.
We also fed back to them about issues with active directory and permissions; this was resolved very quickly so we praise their tech support and development teams."

Synology's pitch for 2026 is that these three jobs, holding your files, protecting them, and watching your premises, run better on one platform than three separate ones. Solution Day covers all three, and so do the ranges below.
ActiveProtect's built-in WORM (write once, read many) technology and an air-gapped isolation option keep a clean copy of your backups out of reach, even if ransomware reaches everything else on the network.
Deep Video Analytics NVRs run AI-driven detection (people, vehicles, faces) alongside Synology's own IP camera range, managed from the same console as your storage and backup.
Storage, backup and surveillance sit on shared hardware and one management layer, rather than a NAS from one vendor, a backup appliance from another, and a camera system from a third.
File storage for PCs, servers, virtual machines and Microsoft 365, sized from a single office to a distributed multi-site estate.
Purpose-built backup, from the 14.5 TB DP340 for a single site up to the 83.5 TB DP7400, rated for clustered configurations of up to 2,500 servers.
Deep Video Analytics NVRs and Synology's turret, bullet and zoom IP cameras, monitored through VisualStation or from your desktop.
Buying the box is the easy part. What we add is everything around it, so devices arrive ready to work and stay looked after until the day they are retired.
We size capacity, redundancy and backup retention to your actual data, not a model chosen to hit a margin, so nobody pays for headroom they will never use.
Migration planned around your working hours, existing storage and backup jobs cut over in sequence, and a tested recovery plan in place before the old system is switched off.
Firmware and security updates, warranty management, and a recovery test on a schedule you agree with us, so the first time a restore is tried is not the day you actually need one.
You buy the hardware once rather than paying a rising monthly fee for as long as you hold the data. We set the figure against your current cloud storage and backup bill over the same period, on lease or capital purchase, so you can see where the crossover point sits.
No, and we will say so. Some estates are well served by Synology's standard NAS backup tools; ActiveProtect earns its place once the estate is large enough, or the compliance requirement strict enough, to need immutable, air-gapped copies. Part of our job is telling you where that line sits for you.
Tell us a little about your organisation and one of our team will come back to you to set out how we would approach it.
