Synology today announced the availability of ActiveProtect, a new line of data protection appliances that integrate enterprise backup software, server, and backup repository into a unified solution.
Targeting the enterprise data protection market in Malaysia, ActiveProtect is designed to strengthen enterprise cyber resilience by simplifying complex data protection and offering comprehensive platform support, advanced security, and scalability, all with a transparent pricing model.
As a global leader in private cloud, managing 520+ exabytes of data across 13 million servers, and trusted by over half of the Fortune 500, Synology delivers reliable, secure, and flexible solutions for businesses to protect and optimize their data. As of 2024, Synology protects over 25 million workloads worldwide, ensuring business continuity and data resilience across diverse industries.
“Data protection should empower businesses, not be a burden to businesses,” said Jia-Yu Liu, Executive Vice President at Synology. “ActiveProtect embodies Synology’s expertise in hardware and software engineering and insights from close collaboration with customers. We are confident that ActiveProtect will exceed enterprises’ expectations for data protection.”
In Malaysia, the increasing frequency of ransomware attacks, such as the 2023 incident impacting government agencies and enterprises, has heightened the demand for reliable data protection. The local backup and recovery market is expected to grow steadily, driven by strict data compliance regulations (e.g., PDPA) and rising cybersecurity concerns, emphasizing the urgent need for stronger cyber resilience among businesses.
“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 Malaysia. We look forward to seeing how it empowers enterprises to secure their most valuable assets with greater ease,” said Thachawan Chinchanakarn, Synology’s ASEAN Regional Manager.

Managing up to three backup servers is also license-free, with optional CMS licenses available for larger deployments involving more appliances.
