Optimize Data Protection with the NAKIVO
Solution Running on Synology NAS

Powerful, Multifunctional Backup Appliance
Get a high-performance backup appliance capable of data backup, recovery, replication, deduplication and compression in one device. Protect data across virtual, physical, cloud, SaaS and mixed environments of any scale. Easily monitor and manage all protection activities through a centralized web-based dashboard, accessible from any device with an Internet connection.

Multiple Backup Destinations
Separate your backups from the production environment by storing them on NAS disks or sending them offsite. You can also send backups and their copies directly to private or public cloud platforms like Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Wasabi, Backblaze B2 and other S3-compatible storage. For long-term archiving, store backup copies on tape.

Enhanced Backup Performance
Write backup data directly to NAS disks to avoid the limitations of SMB and NFS network protocols. Speed up operations using incremental backups with native change tracking, LAN-Free Data Transfer and Network Acceleration. Additionally, you can set custom bandwidth rules to manage traffic and avoid network overload during peak hours.

Reliable Anti-Ransomware Capabilities
Enhance ransomware resilience with immutability and malware scans. Store immutable backups in the cloud, deduplication appliances or Linux-based repositories to prevent encryption and deletion by ransomware or other types of malware. Scan backups for threats before restoring data to production. Integrate the solution with antivirus software to ensure recovered data is clean and safe.

Security Against Unauthorized Access
The NAKIVO solution provides advanced encryption at the source, in transit and at rest, as well as role-based access control to prevent unauthorized users from viewing, changing or deleting critical data.

Flexible Recovery Options
Instantly restore entire machines with the Flash VM Boot, use cross-platform recovery or granularly recover individual files and application objects to the original or a custom location. Test-recover VMs in seconds to ensure data recoverability.

Automated Data Protection
Eliminate task overlaps and streamline scheduling with the Calendar dashboard. Chain tasks to run in sequence and apply Policy-Based Data Protection to automatically back up workloads based on specific criteria.

Reduced Storage Consumption
Reduce backup size and save storage space with data compression and deduplication and by skipping swap files, partitions and unused blocks during backup and replication.
