Love Synology DSM but don\'t want to manage the hardware? Infomaniak offers Synology NAS units hosted in their Swiss data centers. Enjoy all DSM features without worrying about hardware maintenance.
Why a Hosted Synology NAS?
A local NAS has its constraints:
- Hardware to buy and maintain – Initial investment and breakdowns
- Power and cooling – Electricity costs and noise
- Internet connection – Often limited upload speed
- Physical security – Theft, fire, flood
The hosted NAS eliminates all these issues while keeping the DSM interface you know and love.
