Taiwanese firm Synology unveiled its newest range of innovations at COMPUTEX 2025, featuring a portfolio of solutions that cover enterprise storage, data protection, video surveillance, on-premise productivity suites and personal private cloud services.

“Our goal has always been to build a data management ecosystem our customers can trust,” said Philip Wong, Chairman and CEO of Synology. “We design our solutions to offer not only unparalleled ease of use, but also industry-leading security, reliability and data privacy, empowering both organisations and individuals to manage their data with confidence.”

The company unveiled PAS7700, its new flagship enterprise storage designed for mission-critical workloads. It features a dual-controller, active-active architecture to ensure non-disruptive service continuity. With security at its core and built-in 3-2-1-1 data replication capabilities, it safeguards data integrity at every level. PAS7700 leverages an end-to-end NVMe design to deliver up to 2 million IOPS and sub-millisecond latency—offering up to 3x the performance of existing Synology models.

Following the launch of ActiveProtect, Synology is expanding its data protection lineup with the introduction of DP7200. This new appliance can be deployed as a standalone backup server at branch locations or as a CMS host at headquarters. It delivers unified data protection for workloads across the entire organisation, while built-in immutability and network isolation feature safeguard against cyber threats.

Building on Synology’s comprehensive video surveillance ecosystem covering IP cameras, NVRs, AI analytics and cloud backup, Synology introduced C2 Surveillance—a cloud-based video management system designed for NVR-less deployment and seamless multi-site scalability.

With centralised cloud management, Windows AD integration and role-based permission delegation, it is an ideal solution for distributed multi-site large deployments, the company said, adding it also enables continuous local edge recording and supports offline failover mode to ensure uninterrupted monitoring.

Synology is also expanding its productivity offerings with the introduction of ChatPlus and Synology Meet. ChatPlus enables secure team communication with granular permission settings and advanced channel management, while Synology Meet provides enterprise-grade video conferencing. Both applications run on Synology’s private cloud infrastructure, ensuring full data ownership, management and privacy.

On the other hand, BeeStation Plus is a private cloud solution designed for families, offering automatic backup of iCloud Photo Libraries and integration with Plex Media Server for seamless video streaming. It also supports snapshot-based local recovery and offsite cloud backup through BeeProtect, safeguarding cherished family data and memories.

BeeStation Plus will also support smart home surveillance when paired with the Synology CC400W camera. With a new mobile application, it offers intelligent detection of human presence, pet activity, ambient sounds and tampering—delivering instant alerts.
