As technology has evolved, so too have data backup methods. To ensure efficient and dependable backups, different strategies have emerged with considerations for time, storage costs, and network bandwidth. Scale up performance and usability by keeping local edge servers closer to where data is generated and used. Decentralized server architectures improve scalability for high-density applications, such as advanced warehousing, traffic control, city-level video surveillance, and more. Synology NAS/SAN solutions feature data synchronization, mirroring, and reduction features, together with large-scale monitoring and management capabilities that make decentralized architectures feasible.
