Smart storage: how to integrate smartphones, notebooks and desktops to store (and find) media content

The shift to digital technology has long revolutionized data storage processes, fostering the steady dematerialization of archives. At the same time, digitization has brought out new needs and (potential) critical issues inherent in the acquisition and management of information and multimedia content. These certainly include privacy and protection of stored data, for which there are several solutions.

What is smart storage

“Smart” storage refers to a data management system that uses integrated technologies and devices, such as smartphones, notebooks, and desktops. The purpose is to easily store and retrieve useful media content (images, files, photos, etc.) through quick and simplified ways such as automatic backup.

This optimizes the various processes required to process the information within an archive. In addition, the adjective ‘smart’ also refers to the specific management and storage policies, which are diversified according to the type of data: those that are active (characterized by marked dynamism), require different treatment than those that are passive or obsolete. The latter, in turn, must be screened, to divide those no longer useful (to be discarded) from those intended for archiving, defined according to predetermined criteria.

Why smart storage is necessary today

Smart storage is of paramount importance in implementing an effective data management policy; in other words, it serves to optimize data processing for business continuity, especially in the corporate environment and when there is a large volume of information to be processed quickly.

This need requires the implementation of specific solutions that can ensure adequate performance from the systems to manage and store the data flow.

What is a NAS and why to use it

One of the most popular technological solutions for optimizing data storage is the
NAS
, an acronym for
Network Attached Storage
, which is a storage device(storage) connected to any type of network, whether home or business. NAS is an extremely versatile device, as it allows you to implement a variety of operations: to share and synchronize files (or access them), to protect them and to back up data, i.e., copy, a file or database, for use in case of loss or damage.

Guide to Synology NAS: features and benefits

Synology NAS represents one of the most popular solutions for tangibly improving storage processes by overcoming the limitations of traditional server- or drive-based data storage.

Since it is a centralized storage device, it can effectively meet the major file sharing needs, enabling multiple users to be able to work on shared data.

In addition, Synology NAS is able to integrate with other technologies, as it can be configured as much through a browser as through a mobile app.

  • NAS is what used to be an external drive; today, integrated into the PC it can help us :
    • Sharing files;
    • Synchronizing files;
    • Back up the data;
    • Protecting data.

    For example, the Synology RackStation RS818+/RS818RP+ can be seamlessly integrated into various environments consisting of virtual servers.

    In the enterprise environment, the device enables the implementation of a centralized backup, which is critical for database recovery following any malicious event. Hence, Synolgy NAS constitutes a High Availabilty (high availability) solution, i.e., a resource that ensures continuous access to data by users, a prerequisite for ensuring the continuity of operational processes.
