Centralised protection and recovery across large environments
The Synology DP7400 runs ActiveProtect Manager to consolidate backup policies, protection tasks, appliances and recovery workflows. Its predefined storage configuration, deduplication, immutability and air-gapping capabilities suit headquarters and central management deployments that need one backup control plane across many sites.
Unified management
Manage protection plans, appliances and recovery operations from ActiveProtect Manager.
Predefined storage
Ten 20 TB HDDs and two 3.84 TB SSDs are arranged in specified RAID configurations.
Large cluster scale
The current platform specification supports management of up to 2,500 servers or 300,000 workloads.
Recovery readiness
The appliance is rated for nine suggested concurrent built-in restored virtual machines.
Cyber-resilient controls
Immutability, air-gapping and access control support protected backup-copy strategies.
High-speed data links
Two 10GbE RJ-45 data-transfer ports are separate from the 1GbE management interface.
Who is the Synology DP7400 best for?
A strong choice for
- Headquarters backup management
- Large multi-site protection deployments
- Organisations consolidating backup policies
- Teams needing built-in restored-VM capability
- Ransomware-resilient backup architecture
- Rackmount data-centre deployments
Consider another model if you need
- You need a smaller desktop backup appliance
- Your suggested backup source is well below 83.5 TB
- You do not have suitable rack, power and 10GbE infrastructure
- You need primary file storage rather than a dedicated backup platform
