A unified backup platform for growing organisations
The Synology DP340 runs ActiveProtect Manager to coordinate backup policies, tasks, appliances and recovery from one interface. Its included RAID-protected HDD and M.2 SSD configuration, 10GbE data path and cyber-resilience controls make it a focused alternative to assembling separate backup software and storage components.
Central policy control
Use ActiveProtect Manager to organise protection plans, tasks and appliances.
Included protected storage
Four 8 TB HDDs use RAID 5 while two 400 GB M.2 SSDs use RAID 1.
10GbE data transfer
A dedicated 10GbE RJ-45 data port complements the separate 1GbE management port.
Recovery capability
The platform lists two suggested concurrent built-in restored virtual machines.
Cyber-resilient backups
Immutability, air-gapping and access controls support protected recovery copies.
Multi-site participation
The DP340 can operate individually or as a managed appliance within an ActiveProtect cluster.
Who is the Synology DP340 best for?
A strong choice for
- Small and medium business backup
- Branch or edge protection
- Centralised endpoint and server policies
- Teams needing a dedicated 10GbE backup path
- Built-in recovery testing and VM restoration
- Organisations reducing backup-tool sprawl
Consider another model if you need
- You need a larger rackmount ActiveProtect appliance
- Your protected data exceeds the suggested 14.5 TB source size
- You need a rackmount rather than tower appliance
- You want general-purpose NAS storage rather than ActiveProtect Manager
