In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the Sonology Solutions Exhibition 2024 in Taipei, focusing on the enterprise and larger-scale business offerings from Synology. Key points include the emphasis on surveillance and AI applications, the introduction of Active Protect with a series of data protection devices in rack-mount configurations, pre-populated with storage technology and designed for quick deployment. Active Protect offers a centralized portal for managing backups across various platforms, including Mac, Windows, virtual machines, and Linux databases. Pricing details and structure questions were raised but not answered during the exhibition.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a data protection system that enables local network and remote access identities, with data duplication and easy management capabilities. The system minimizes redundancy by backing up files from connected clients once, even across multiple business locations. It offers multi-site deployment, right once read many support, versioning, object file folder restoration, and a single portal interface. The video also mentions the Active Protect series focusing on enterprise-level protection. Pricing details are still unclear, with potential long-term software licensing. Another enterprise rackmount appliance, the GS series, offers high storage capacity, scalable up to 20 petabytes with up to 96 individual rack mount nodes per cluster. These nodes are managed by a tailored Synology switch with 100 Gig Nicks for robust management control.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses Synology’s new M 96 node storage solution which is set to be massive at 20 petabytes. It is uncertain if it will run a streamlined version of DSM or the full-featured options of DSM. They also mention an upcoming rackmount NVMe flash solution that is still in development and may be released around 2025. The NVMe flash system appears to be a hybrid of hard drive and flash, based on SAS connectivity. Additionally, there is mention of new surveillance cameras from Synology, including an 8-megapixel bullet style camera and a fisheye lens camera providing 360° coverage. The focus is on the fisheye camera due to its unique features.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, it is discussed how Synology’s Surveillance Station supports fisheye lens cameras with integrated Edge AI recognition capabilities for recognizing humans, vehicles, and setting intrusion lines. These cameras can be broken into four individual recorded feeds, each covering a separate area with their own Edge AI and monitoring capabilities. Synology also introduced the C2 surveillance station platform, a cloud-based failover for cameras, allowing cameras to directly record to the cloud. The C2 platform offers a lighter version of the Surveillance Station with Edge AI services, enabling deployment of new cloud-compatible cameras for remote or ad hoc setups. Details on subscription models and pricing are pending confirmation. It is suggested that future integration of advanced features like license plate recognition and facial recognition could further enhance this cloud-based surveillance solution.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, Synology showcased their integration of existing language learning models and AI into their applications and services, through the Sonology AI console available in DSM. Users can add AI models like Chat GPT and Google Gemini to the portal for integration with Sonology’s mail, office applications, and potentially Sonology Chat in the future. The AI services are optional and require users to have existing subscriptions with third-party AI providers. Additionally, a de-identifier module in the admin console allows users to control which personal information the AI services can utilize. Other products mentioned include larger hard drives, B Stations, and B Drives, with no mention of larger-scale B Stations or the expansion of Ryze 6 and 8 bay devices by Synology.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the absence of mid-range technology solutions in 4, 6, and 8-bay devices at the event. They express disappointment in not seeing upgrades for these products, particularly the 6 and 8-bay models which are becoming outdated. The speaker mentions a deeper look into Synology’s 2024 plans to be released later. They invite feedback from Enterprise or large-scale business users who may benefit from the discussed solutions. The speaker also mentions interest in the active protect series and the importance of transitioning to Flash servers. They conclude by encouraging viewers to share their thoughts and stay tuned for updates from the Computex event and upcoming videos on data storage brands.
