Synology, a global leader in network-attached storage (NAS), is taking data security and backup services to the next level with the launch of its new NAS OS and cloud services.

Synology today announced the massive expansion of DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.0 and its C2 platform, along with four new cloud services.

Focusing on security, enhanced system management, and improved data collaboration, DSM 7.0 advances Synology's NAS and SAN product lines.

Synology data management solutions have been deployed in over 8 million locations worldwide, all of which support the DSM operating system.

As the world's most widely used NAS OS, DSM uniquely combines storage interoperability, backup and data protection capabilities, and powerful synchronization and collaboration solutions to address the growing number of distributed workspaces and data sources.

DSM 7.0 is scheduled to be released on June 29th.

Active Insight, a large-scale device monitoring and diagnostics solution; Hybrid Share, which combines C2 Storage flexibility and synchronization capabilities with an on-premises solution; and Hybrid Cloud, which simplifies cross-site domain management.A major new update is also coming, including a completely new hybrid cloud service, C2 Identity, a cloud-based directory as a service.

Additionally, along with platform improvements such as support for up to 1PB volumes for ultra-large-scale operations, DSM 7.0 enhances security in the form of Secure SignIn.

This completely revamped authentication system makes two-step authentication simple and easy to use.

The upcoming C2 Password, C2 Transfer, and C2 Backup standalone solutions address modern needs for password protection, sensitive file sharing, and backup across all endpoints and common SaaS cloud services.

The new C2 service will be rolled out in stages starting July 13th.
