Computex Taiwanese storage provider Synology has unveiled a range of backup devices.
How to create a Synology NAS-based backup device for VMware with NAKIVO
For years, NAS devices have been sold that include a hypervisor and modest processing power. That combination has been proposed as not fully hyperconverged infrastructure, but instead a practical way to run a few modest virtual machines in small offices.
Curiously, Synology also bakes a browser-based personal productivity suite into its storage devices. Another of its offerings is Active Backup, which as the name suggests is a backup program.
On Wednesday, at Taiwan's Computex trade show, it unveiled the ActiveProtect line; appliances that include backup software and a tool to manage a fleet of the devices and manage the data they store.
