Synology Inc. has announced an expanded India strategy for 2026 focused on AI-ready data storage and enterprise data management infrastructure. The company also revealed that its enterprise sales in India have witnessed strong growth over the past five years, driven largely by demand from government and public sector organisations.
As part of its renewed India push, Synology plans to introduce high-performance NVMe storage systems along with enhanced operating system and management capabilities for enterprise customers. The upcoming offerings include upgraded PAS series enterprise storage solutions and the ActiveProtect data protection appliance lineup, both scheduled for global launch in June 2026.
Synology is also embedding AI capabilities across its product lines, with a focus on helping unstructured data usable for AI workloads and build the foundation for AI-driven data pathways. This shift extends the traditional role of storage, enabling customers to deploy AI-ready infrastructure in a cost-effective and practical way to support their AI transformation.
“When it comes to AI transformation, Indian enterprises need more than just storage, they need an end-to-end infrastructure that supports every step of the AI journey, from edge data collection to core processing. They are no longer asking how much data they can store, but how much of their data they truly control, and how quickly they can put it to work,” said Asta Liang, Country Manager – SAARC at Synology Inc. “Our 2026 commitment to India is to make AI-ready, secure and simple-to-manage infrastructure available to organisations of every size.”
The company added that it will continue to concentrate on system-level protection and improving backup and recovery capabilities, ensuring enterprises can achieve greater resilience and defense against evolving threats in the AI age.
Synology’s approach responds to a structural gap that enterprises worldwide encounter as they scale their AI initiatives. Recent industry research cited by the company indicates that while about 88% companies have introduced AI into daily operations, only 6% are seeing meaningful business impact. Around 90% of enterprise data is unstructured (emails, documents, images, video, logs) and increasingly hard to move at scale because of cost, latency and regulatory constraints, an issue described by Synology as a “data gravity” challenge.
Indian organizations running on Synology today span media houses, manufacturers, financial institutions, government departments and public-sector undertakings.
Synology Inc. reported a significant rise in global demand for its storage solutions in 2025, with total shipments reaching 43.8 exabytes of storage capacity worldwide. To illustrate the scale, this capacity is equivalent to storing nearly 8.8 trillion photographs of 5 MB each, or roughly the combined storage of 171 million smartphones with 256 GB capacity.
The company’s ActiveProtect enterprise backup appliance lineup, launched in 2025, has also earned recognition in the Gartner® Market Guide for Enterprise Backup Storage Appliances. In addition, Synology received PCMag’s Readers’ Choice and Business Choice Awards for its NAS devices and IT-managed servers.
Synology develops network-attached storage (NAS) and IP surveillance solutions aimed at simplifying data management and surveillance operations in the cloud era. The company focuses on helping businesses and users centralize storage and backup, enable secure file sharing, and deploy professional surveillance systems through reliable and cost-effective technologies.
