Case Study: Squiver (award-winning wildlife photography company) achieves fast, reliable photo backups and a smoother workflow with Synology Inc.'s DiskStation DS1812+

Squiver - Customer Case Study

Squiver, run by award-winning wildlife photographer Marsel van Oosten, faced massive volumes of large photo files — about 5,000 images on a 10‑day trip (RAWs 10–30 MB, processed PSDs up to 1 GB) — and had unreliable backups from external drives and a prior NAS. Seeking a fast, flexible multi-bay solution, Squiver selected Synology Inc.'s DiskStation DS1812+.

Synology Inc.'s DS1812+ (configured with Synology Hybrid RAID, SHR) centralized Squiver’s storage, delivered much faster and quieter backups, and provided redundancy that can withstand up to two disk failures. The result was a smoother, faster workflow and reliable protection for thousands of large files per trip — outcomes Marsel credits to the DS1812+ and now recommends to customers and colleagues.
