Synology stated that its solutions are currently widely used in the biotechnology and medical, high-tech manufacturing, finance and insurance, and traditional manufacturing industries. At the same time, it also observes the current data storage application needs of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Taiwanese market, as well as the needs for long-term data protection and compliance storage. It also includes the demand trend for flexible cloud and local deployment. In recent years, the demand for data storage derived from the demand for self-generated artificial intelligence and device-side artificial intelligence computing is a significant growth trend in the future.
Synology Taiwan Business Unit General Manager Lee Gan-wei said that most small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan currently have significant data storage needs. However, how to store the data, how to properly use it, and whether it complies with regulations actually require sufficient IT personnel to assist in management, but small and medium-sized enterprises currently lack resources.
Especially when SMEs have grown to a certain scale or are about to become listed companies, a lot of data must also comply with regulations and must have sufficient security protection. How to overcome such challenges will become the focus of digital transformation and sustainable operations for many SMEs.
Synology also emphasized Taiwan's geopolitical environment, coupled with the high level of privacy associated with data used in many high-tech manufacturing, biotechnology, healthcare, and financial insurance industries. Therefore, offsite backup has become a crucial issue for business development. Beyond backing up data, Synology also explained that efficiently and reliably recovering needed data at critical moments is even more crucial.
Therefore, in the technology provided by Synology, in addition to lowering the difficulty threshold of enterprise data backup by simplifying the interface and backup architecture, it not only makes it easier for enterprises to centrally manage data, but also provides Synology C3 cloud services by building its own three data centers. At the same time, it cooperates with public cloud companies such as Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure to strengthen the use of hybrid cloud architecture backup, ensuring that enterprise data can be stored in a more reliable form and can be smoothly restored when necessary.
Regarding the storage demands arising from the booming growth of automated generative AI and on-device AI computing, Lee Gan-wei explained that they have indeed seen a significant increase in this demand, and Synology has already begun developing corresponding solutions. These include the expected launch of AI collaboration tools, data stratification, and other applications. There are also plans to integrate OpenAI's AI technology to make it easier for enterprises to manage and use data through AI.
