Why Synology

The platform. The partner.

Why Synology

Built for business, not consumers

Synology isn't a home NAS company that wandered into enterprise. Their DSM operating system runs hospitals, schools, and growing companies with the same reliability.

Total cost that makes sense

No per-socket licensing. No surprise renewals. Buy the hardware, own the software. Expansions don't require a finance meeting.

One ecosystem, not twelve vendors

Storage, backup, surveillance, file sync—all managed from one interface. Fewer vendors means fewer finger-pointing conversations when something breaks.

Why Eaton & Associates

We've done this before

200+ deployments last year. We know which models fit which workloads, which drives to trust, and which configurations actually survive production.

We don't disappear after the sale

Every system we deploy gets monitored. Firmware updates, drive health, backup verification—handled before you know there's a problem.

We integrate, not just install

Your Synology talks to Active Directory, your backup software, your cloud. We make it part of your infrastructure, not a standalone appliance.

What We Deploy

Synology for every workload

File & Collaboration

Centralized file storage with granular permissions. Replace clunky file servers or expensive SharePoint sprawl.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Active Backup for Business protects endpoints, servers, and VMs. Replicate offsite or to Synology C2 cloud.

Virtualization Storage

iSCSI and NFS for VMware and Hyper-V. High-availability clusters for environments that can't afford downtime.

Surveillance

Synology Surveillance Station runs your cameras without per-camera licensing fees eating your budget.

Hybrid Cloud

Sync to Synology C2 or major cloud providers. Keep data local, back up remote—or the reverse.

Mail & Productivity

MailPlus, Office, Chat—self-hosted alternatives when you need data sovereignty or offline capability.

The Process

From conversation to running system

01

Discovery

We learn your environment—current storage, pain points, growth plans. No questionnaire. A real conversation.

02

Design

We spec the right Synology solution for your workload. Not the biggest. Not the cheapest. The right one.

03

Deploy

We handle installation, migration, and integration with your existing infrastructure. Tested before handoff.

04

Support

Ongoing monitoring, firmware updates, and someone to call when you have questions. We don't disappear.

Common Questions

Before you reach out

What size Synology do I need?

Depends on your data, growth rate, and workload. A 4-bay unit handles many small offices. A 12-bay rackmount suits growing companies. We'll help you right-size—overselling doesn't help anyone.

Can Synology replace our Windows file server?

Usually, yes. Synology integrates with Active Directory, supports SMB/CIFS, and handles permissions the way you'd expect. Most clients find it simpler to manage.

What about backups?

Active Backup for Business is included—no extra licensing. It backs up Windows, Mac, Linux, VMware, Hyper-V, and Microsoft 365. We configure it as part of deployment.

How does pricing work?

You buy the hardware outright. Software is included. No annual subscriptions for core features. We quote implementation and optional ongoing support separately.

Do you support Synology we didn't buy from you?

Yes. If you have existing Synology units that need configuration, optimization, or monitoring, we can help.

What's the warranty situation?

Synology units come with 3-5 year warranties depending on model. We handle warranty claims if something fails—you don't chase Synology yourself.
