Synology Package Center Explained: Essential Apps for Modern Business Infrastructure

Synology

Synology NAS is now a key part of modern IT systems, providing everything from secure file storage to backup and collaboration for businesses. The Synology Package Center is the main part of this ecosystem. It is a central store where businesses can install, manage, and update powerful apps that improve productivity, security, and data protection.

If your business needs to be able to grow, be reliable, and have smooth data governance, you need to know about the Package Center. When set up and cared for correctly, especially with help from Epis Technology, Synology apps turn your NAS into a full business server.

What Is the Synology Package Center?

The Synology Package Center is a built-in app store that comes with DSM (DiskStation Manager). It lets companies add more features to their NAS by installing apps for:

Backup and recovery from disasters
Syncing and sharing files
Watching and protecting
Managing containers and virtualization
Working together in business
Integration with the cloud

Every package is made to work best with Synology’s hardware and DSM architecture, which makes sure that it works well and reliably in mission-critical settings.

Why the Package Center is Important for Businesses

The Package Center gives IT managers and business owners:

1. Managing apps from one place

With one click, you can install, update, or remove system packages. Administrators can set up automatic updates to keep systems safe and compliant.

2. Flexibility at the Enterprise Level

The Package Center has everything you need to create a custom IT environment, whether you need hybrid-cloud backup, private file sharing, or advanced virtualization.

3. Works well with backup and security systems

Active Backup, Hyper Backup, and Snapshot Replication are all important for making data more resilient, which is necessary to follow internal rules and regulations.

4. An ecosystem that can grow with your business

As your needs for storage or security change, packages change with you. You can add new services without having to change the whole system.

Important Packages That All Businesses Should Think About

Here are the most useful packages that IT teams at Epis Technology often use and improve for business clients.

1. Active Backup Suite

A backup solution that is a must-have and protects:

Microsoft 365
Workspace for Google
Windows and Mac computers

Hyper-V and VMware are examples of virtual machines.

Why it matters: It brings all backup tasks together, which lowers licensing costs and makes it easier to get data back quickly after a loss or ransomware attack.

Epis Technology makes configuration better by adding custom retention policies, compliance controls, and disaster recovery workflows.

2. Hyper Backup

Provides long-term backups that don’t have any duplicates to:

Synology NAS
Drives from outside
Cloud from Synology C2
Cloud providers for the public

Hyper Backup lets you recover multiple versions of files, apps, and even whole systems after they are accidentally deleted or corrupted.

3. Synology Drive

A secure private cloud option to Google Drive or Dropbox that lets you:

Syncing files
Control of versions
Working together from afar
Sharing data that is encrypted

Epis Technology sets up Drive for business teams that need to work together safely without giving third-party platforms access to their data.

4. Station for Watching

A strong VMS (Video Management System) for:

Managing IP cameras
Smart analysis
Recording for security
Integration of access control

Great for businesses that want to combine their physical and digital security.

5. The Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)

Lets companies run virtual machines right on Synology hardware.

Works with Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM.

Here are some examples of how to use it:

Running business apps
Running test environments
Separate workloads for security

Epis Technology often uses VMM for companies that want to virtualize without having to build a big VMware or Hyper-V infrastructure.

6. Tools for integrating C2 Cloud

Packages for running a hybrid cloud, like:

Backup C2
C2 Storage for Hybrid Share
C2 Move

These make it possible to back up data safely off-site, work with people all over the world, and store data in the cloud without slowing down local performance.

7. Packages for Security

Important for making cybersecurity stronger:

Security Advisor (checks for weaknesses)
Manager of SSL Certificates
Directory Server for Synology
Snapshot Replication (instant rollback to protect against ransomware)

Epis Technology sets these tools up to make zero-trust environments that keep business data safe from new threats.
