In a market full of backup and archiving options, it’s easy for businesses to feel overwhelmed. So, what makes Synapse’s Hybrid Tiering solution truly different — and why does that matter to your business?

The short answer: it’s fully managed, cost-efficient, secure, and backed by trusted technology partners.

1. A Fully Managed Service That Takes the Weight Off Your I.T. Team

While many vendors offer data archiving solutions, few deliver a hands-off experience like Synapse. Our Hybrid Tiering service doesn’t just deploy the technology — we manage it end-to-end. That includes setting up policies, monitoring system performance, ensuring compliance, and resolving issues before they affect your business.

This is more than a value add. For small teams juggling multiple responsibilities, it's a lifeline. With Synapse, your IT staff can focus on core projects while we handle the day-to-day burden of data lifecycle management.

2. Smart Tiering with Dell Data Domain & Wasabi

The backbone of our solution is the integration between Dell Technologies’ Data Domain and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage. Dell provides industry-leading deduplication and compression, reducing the volume of data before it even hits the cloud. Wasabi offers high-durability, low-cost storage with no egress or API charges — a major win for budget-conscious businesses.

Synapse brings these technologies together with intelligent tiering. Frequently accessed data stays on fast, high-performance Dell hardware. Cold, inactive data is securely moved to Wasabi, where it can sit affordably and securely for the long term — yet remain instantly accessible if needed.

3. Security and Compliance You Can Trust

Synapse’s solution isn’t just about cost and performance — it’s about peace of mind. We leverage immutable snapshots, end-to-end encryption, and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) compliance to protect your data against accidental deletion and ransomware.

Whether you need to meet GDPR, HIPAA, or financial sector regulations, we’ll help ensure your backup and archive environment remains audit-ready and resilient.

4. Predictable Pricing with a Clear Starting Point

Many archiving solutions make pricing a mystery. Synapse offers clarity with a straightforward starting price (e.g. from £799/month, subject to your data needs). This removes the guesswork and shows businesses that enterprise-level solutions don’t need to come with enterprise-level costs.

Our predictable per-month pricing model eliminates CapEx surprises and simplifies budget forecasting — making it easier for you to justify investment and scale as needed.

In summary, Synapse’s Hybrid Tiering isn’t just another data archiving tool. It’s a modern, managed, and secure approach to long-term data retention. With cost efficiency, compliance readiness, and operational simplicity baked in, it offers clear advantages for organisations ready to modernise how they manage data.
