Gmail users reported having trouble saving email drafts, sending emails, attaching and accessing attachments while Google Drive users experienced trouble uploading and downloading files. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synology, network attached storage (NAS), IP surveillance and network\nequipment provider, urges businesses to face up to the hidden costs and risks\nin adopting public cloud services by considering getting a NAS, which is based\non the private cloud architecture. NAS provides file sync services,\ncollaboration suite, corporate communication application, mail services and\nhigh availability services simultaneously, helping businesses minimize the\nrisks and losses caused by public cloud services anomalies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Philippines remains to be one of the countries in the Asia Pacific\nyet to mature in terms of cloud adoption, according to the Cloud Readiness\nIndex 2018 presented by the Asia Cloud Computing Association.<a href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>\nThis is despite conglomerates and medium-sized companies relying on the cloud\nfor as much as 80 percent and 40 percent of their workload, respectively. About\n30 percent of small enterprises use some form of cloud. Although more\nbusinesses, including SMEs, are willing to consider moving to the cloud,\nconnectivity issues hinder such companies from actually expensive making the\nshift, especially with the Philippines still having the slowest internet in the\nAPAC region according to Global digital agency &#8216;We Are Social&#8217; and Hootsuite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An industry that could benefit highly from cloud technologies is the BPO\nsector, one of the biggest industries the Philippines with 1.4 million\nrelatively well-paid workers and generating 9 percent of the country\u2019s GDP.\nImprovements in cloud computing efficiency will keep the industry competitive.<a href=\"#_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synology Product Manager Chad Chiang noted that the threshold of\ndeploying public cloud services is lower than that of a private cloud\u2019s, but\nthe losses caused by service disruptions resulting from public cloud anomalies\nwill be considerable. In this case, businesses are strongly advised to\nestablish a private cloud system in order to ensure maximum service uptime and\nmaster data autonomy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\nFor companies that already use public cloud services, Synology also offers\nActive Backup for Office 365 and Active Backup for G Suite to protect Office\n365 and G Suite data, minimizing the risk and losses caused by public cloud\nanomalies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synology Product Marketing Manager Jenn Yeh pointed out that relying\nsolely on public cloud is not a good idea. It is just like putting all eggs in\none basket. The best practice is to back up data on the public cloud to a local\nNAS in order to protect valuable data such as mails, contacts, calendar and\ncloud drive. This approach enables businesses to obtain the latest data and\nprovide uninterrupted services to customers should there be an abnormality in\nthe public cloud.&nbsp;It also equips businesses with tools to prevent\nemployees from accidentally or maliciously deleting data and saving data for\naudits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Backing up SaaS data is a must. New technologies come with new risks, but\nthere is no excuse for being unprepared. Better to be prepared so that when\ndisaster strikes, businesses can ride out the storm unscathed. \n\nSynology creates network attached storage, IP\nsurveillance solutions, and network equipment that transform the way users\nmanage data, conduct surveillance, and manage network\nin the cloud era. By taking full advantage of the latest technologies, Synology\naims to help users centralize data storage and backup, share files on-the-go,\nimplement professional surveillance solutions, and manage network in reliable and affordable ways.\nSynology is committed to delivering products with forward-thinking features and\nthe best in class customer services.\n\n<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/technology.mb.com.ph\/2018\/07\/23\/cloud-computing-where-are-we-in-the-philippines\/\">https:\/\/technology.mb.com.ph\/2018\/07\/23\/cloud-computing-where-are-we-in-the-philippines\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"#_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/news.microsoft.com\/en-ph\/2017\/10\/16\/cloud-computing-grow-asean-ph-cloud-grow-security-data-privacy\/\">https:\/\/news.microsoft.com\/en-ph\/2017\/10\/16\/cloud-computing-grow-asean-ph-cloud-grow-security-data-privacy\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synology, network attached storage (NAS), IP surveillance and network equipment provider, urges businesses to face up to the hidden costs and risks in adopting public cloud services by considering getting a NAS, which is based on the private cloud architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":29261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[107,3457],"class_list":["post-34772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-cloud","tag-synology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
