Who is Synology?
• Synology was founded in 2000 by former MS employees Cheen Liao & Phillip Wong. They wrote their original OS built off BSD using Fastora NAS hardware. Since then they have created their own hardware to work with their DSM (Disk Station Manager) software which is the heart of all Synology products. Approx. 250 employees world-wide.

Why would I want their devices?
• Do you have a need for ‘cold’ or ‘dead’ storage in excess of a few TB?
• Do you have a need for a storage back-end for your VM environment?
• Do you need a way to provide storage to a test lab? NFS/iSCSI/CIFS?
• Do you have any other random storage needs that don’t need to be on expensive 10k or 15k disks?
