Synology Introduces the DS423+: The Latest All-In-One Storage Solution

Synology has launched the DS423+, a 4-bay DiskStation model that offers comprehensive solutions for data protection and management, document collaboration, remote file access, and IP camera-based surveillance system core. 

The DS423+ is powered by the versatile Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system and is designed for home offices and small businesses with limited storage requirements.

Anya Lin, Product Manager at Synology, expressed her excitement about the launch and said, "The new DS423+ offers exceptional value to users with limited storage requirements. It boasts 21% faster photo indexing over its predecessor, among other performance improvements, and continues to offer the comprehensive and robust features that our customers have come to rely on."

With a maximum storage capacity of 72 terabytes, the DS423+ is perfect for small teams of professionals, small businesses looking for centralized storage, or as an edge node in distributed deployments. Additionally, DSM on the DS423+ leverages the advanced Btrfs file system to safeguard data against corruption, and users can easily reverse unintended or malicious changes through snapshot technology. The DS423+ comes with two easily accessible M.2 NVMe slots, which can be used to either enable fast flash caching or create SSD storage volumes without occupying standard drive bays. SSD storage pools are ideal for workloads that require low latency and high random write performance, while SSD cache volumes can significantly boost I/O performance on slower HDD volumes.

On-premises storage with cloud integration
The DS423+ delivers intuitive file management and sharing with Synology Drive, which combines cross-platform file access with the privacy offered by on-premises storage. For teams working remotely and businesses operating across multiple locations, site-to-site file syncing is available to mirror content between Synology devices.

Hybrid cloud capabilities provided by Synology Hybrid Share allow users to merge the benefits of on-premises and cloud by storing cold data in the cloud while keeping frequently accessed files cached on the local device for access at LAN speeds.

A central backup hub with multi-tier data protection
Ensuring that critical data is always protected against modern cybersecurity threats is essential to avoid irreversible loss of valuable information. Synology's Active Backup Suite allows IT infrastructure, such as Windows and Linux systems, Hyper-V/VMware VMs, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace accounts, to be safely backed up onto the DS423+ and easily restored when needed.

For increased redundancy, backups and point-in-time snapshots of data stored on the NAS can also be created and sent off-site to another server or cloud service.

Compact surveillance server
Synology Surveillance Station is a powerful video management system (VMS) that currently protects over 500,000 sites worldwide. Support for ONVIF and over 8,300 validated IP cameras mean that users can choose devices most suited to their requirements. Surveillance Station makes it easy to set up and manage up to 40 cameras on the DS423+ with a modern and configurable interface. For deployments spread out over large areas or multiple buildings, floor plans and Google Maps or OpenStreetMap maps can be overlayed to maximize situational awareness. Surveillance Station makes it easy to encrypt, backup, and archive recordings, as well as record footage simultaneously to the cloud using the optional C2 Surveillance. Surveillance Station is highly scalable and suitable for deployments of all sizes—from small business deployments with a few cameras to large-scale deployments with thousands of cameras between hundreds of locations.
