[btarunr]

Today, Synology Inc. announced the launch of a new data center in Seattle for its cloud backup service, Synology C2. The data center is the second location to offer C2 services, with the first location in Frankfurt, Germany. The expansion extends the reach of Synology C2 service to markets in America and Asia, offering new subscribers the choice of where to host their data.

"Augmenting on-premises data security with cloud-based backup is a growing trend among personal and business users alike. The new data center in Seattle allows us to provide a more efficient and localized experience to customers in the Americas and Asia," said Hewitt Lee, Director of Synology Product Management Group.



Synology C2 is designed to provide owners of Synology products a secure way to back up their data in the cloud. C2 users now have the option to host their data in Frankfurt or Seattle, with each site independently compliant with local regulations and laws.

"Over the past two years, Synology C2 usage has grown considerably around the world. The addition of the new data center will enable users to protect their data while allowing them to more easily meet regulation and security policies associated with data residency," said Jia-Yu Liu, Vice President and Head of the Application Group at Synology.

Synology C2 offers two data backup plans for users:
Plan I targets essential backup needs:

• Automatic versioning, stores up to 11 versions, going back 30 days
• Versioning doesn't count towards data usage
• Flexible plan selection of 100 GB, 300 GB, and 1 TB storage capacities

Plan II provides advanced data protection capabilities:

• Flexible backup rotation and retention policies
• Data de-duplication for storage usage optimization
• ≥1 TB of storage capacity

Synology C2 Backup offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers. For more information, please visit the Synology C2 Backup website.

For as much as I would like to have a cloud backup of my synology data, this is way to expensive for a home user.

For as much as I would like to have a cloud backup of my synology data, this is way to expensive for a home user.

In my opinion, it's not though, its the same price as you pay for an anti-virus/firewall, heck I pay more for a wow subscription than I would be for this.

I have a 10.5TB NAS unit. If I want to back up the whole thing to the cloud, it's about $400 a year. I dont use an AV and I pay no more than $180 a year for WoW.

In 3 years of use... you could have bought a second NAS to give you your synced backup, free from year 4 onwards, plus if your first NAS goes down, your data is already there and locally accessible without having to find replacement NAS and data recovery times. Painful and expensive unless you are on unlimited very high speed internet.

My approach: Locate your second NAS in the basement, stick it on the LAN. Corporate milage might vary.

C2 in Seattle - or C2 in Frankfurt. I wonder which one gets more government snoops! I guess there are American companies dont want their data in Germany. I guess there are European companies dont want their data in the US.
