A Synology Inc. Case Study
Yeng Hsingh, a chemical manufacturer, faced growing IT demands but lacked budget for per‑PC backup licenses (around NT$1,000 per client), forcing workarounds like Windows virtual folders despite already using Synology storage devices. Synology Inc. introduced Active Backup for Business (ABB) as a license‑free, centralized backup option, which Yeng Hsingh trialed and began deploying to client PCs.
Synology Inc. implemented Active Backup for Business with deduplication, Active Directory integration for rapid deployment, and bootable USB recovery. After deploying ABB to 23 clients, expected backup data of 1.85 TB was reduced to 600 GB (about 68% storage savings), restore times dropped from roughly 4 hours to under 30 minutes (~88% faster), and Yeng Hsingh eliminated per‑PC license costs while planning broader company rollout.
