Synology DiskStation DS423 fits the modern working world

According to the manufacturer, the Synology DiskStation DS423 is targeted at small businesses as well as home users who want to securely store and manage their data. In particular, the increasingly popular home office could be a tailor-made application point, if Synology has its way. In addition to security, the storage solution with up to 72 TB also wants to offer high ease of use. The linchpin is the Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). Above all, the company wants to score points here with the possibility of cross-location collaboration.

So, with the Synology DiskStation DS423, you’re supposed to be able to “manage, many, sync and open data across PCs, Macs and mobile devices from anywhere.” This is said to be beneficial not only for self-employed people who work on the go. Companies that want to give their employees access to company data from anywhere are apparently also in Synology’s sights. With the help of Drive ShareSync, it should be possible to easily exchange data between different devices from the manufacturer. Synology promises reliable synchronization to keep the data up to date at all times.

With this, the Synology DiskStation DS423 meets the demands of the modern working world. And not only that. On top of that, the company again promises a pleasingly effective cloud. This ensures a significant reduction in bandwidth and storage consumption. This is supposed to be made possible by Hybrid Share. The function makes it possible to store data that is only needed occasionally in Synology C2’s data centers. Documents and the like, which you need to access regularly, can then be stored locally. This effectively reduces the load on the storage.
