Synology ActiveProtect Architect (SIT5EN)

Networking, Synology

This two-day intensive course is part of the Synology Intensive Training (SIT) program and provides a comprehensive overview of ActiveProtect and ActiveProtect devices. If you successfully pass the online certification exam at the end of the training, you will receive an official Synology ActiveProtect Architect certificate.

After a brief introduction to the key concepts and components of an ActiveProtect infrastructure (backup server, management server, remote storage, hypervisors), we will show step-by-step - through a series of hands-on exercises - how to use ActiveProtect to create an effective cross-site data protection solution. We cover not only backing up different types of primary data (physical clients, servers, file servers, VMs, cloud services), but also advanced topics such as airgapping, failover scenarios, and integrating Synology NAS systems into an ActiveProtect infrastructure using ActiveProtect Vault, and more.

All DSM Architect, Backup Architect, Collaboration Architect, Surveillance Architect and ActiveProtect Architect courses culminate in Synology certification. This 45-minute test is administered immediately after the training and results are communicated to participants immediately upon completion. All participants who successfully complete the certification test will receive an official certificate with the Synology logo.

The Synology certification obtained is valid exclusively in the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
