Symform Cloud Backup for QNAP Network Attach Storage
Most business owners understand the need to protect and back up critical company data. In spite of their awareness, many small and mid-sized businesses do minimal backup or none at all. Starting with a cost-effective onsite storage device, such as the QNAP Network Attach Storage (NAS) appliance, is a great first step. QNAP’s NAS appliance ensures centralized data storage and backup in case data is lost on a laptop, desktop computer, or server. But onsite storage and backup is not enough. A best practice is a two-tiered backup system, which ensures redundancy with backup capabilities both onsite and offsite. Adding Symform to your NAS device provides the protection you need to keep your business running.
Key Benefits of Using Symform With QNAP:
Customers who leverage the Symform cloud with the QNAP NAS appliance receive a cost-effective, high-performing, and secure solution from both QNAP and Symform.
- Fast appliance-to-cloud backup and restore: Symform technology makes it faster and easier for users to upload or download data between their QNAP unit and the Symform cloud, with innovative seeding technology and instant restore capability.
- No file size limit: Users can back up all files to the Symform cloud, including CAD/CAM files, media images, and other large files.
- Data Synchronization: Users can also employ Symform to synchronize critical data directly from a QNAP device, between multiple QNAP devices, or between a QNAP device and other devices, such as laptops or tablet PCs; as well as over the Internet, which comes in handy for mobile users and multi-site businesses
- Strong Data Encryption: Symform employs federally approved, military-grade AES-256 data encryption for all data in the Symform Cloud Storage Network.
