Easy to Manage

We had an old file server that was good while it lasted, but we wanted something more modern and easier to manage.
OIT setup a pair of Synology NAS for us so that our data is protected from hardware failures.
We needed a file server to store backups of our enterprise server, and some basic file sharing between our employees.
OIT managed to setup a Synology NAS and configure backups for us.
They also managed to backup our Network Video Recorder for our CCTV to our NAS.
OIT’s Choice for File Server is Synology NAS
A Reliable Choice for Internal File Sharing
When it comes to file sharing within the same office, Synology NAS hits the sweet spot—affordable, proven, and easy to manage for teams that don’t need a full enterprise server setup, especially teams operating from serviced offices .
Reasons We Recommend Synology
Plenty of Settings When You Need Them
Set user access, encrypt files, and track activity—everything’s built in.
And when security matters (especially for financial firms), encrypting data-at-rest becomes a simple checkbox, not an afterthought.
Backups Are Simple
You can back up to another NAS, sync to the cloud, or mirror your entire setup automatically.
Predictable Performance
Engineers test these devices with many different drives and workloads, so you won’t get surprises later.
Clear, Honest Pricing
Prices for units and parts are publicly available. What you see is what you pay.
Parts Are Easy to Find
If a disk fails—or even the NAS itself—you can get replacements off the shelf in Singapore. No more 30-day waiting times.
You Can Set It Up Yourself… But You Don’t Have To
We’ve Already Done the Learning (and the Troubleshooting)
Synology comes with guides, and yes—you could follow them step by step.
But we’ve already been through the pain points most people don’t see coming.
We plan for things like:
-
Securing information assets properly
-
Setting the right permissions early on
-
Making sure backups don’t quietly fail in the background
You won’t need to do it twice.
You won’t need to start over.

File Server Setup in Raffles Quay, Central Business District : FAQs
What’s included in a file server setup?
Typically this covers planning folder structure and access permissions, setting up shared drives, user/group access, security basics, backups, and testing access from office devices. We’ll confirm what you need before starting.
How long does a file server setup usually take?
A straightforward setup can often be done within 1–2 working days. More complex requirements (many users, multiple departments, migrations, strict security rules) may take several days.
Can you migrate our existing shared files without losing anything?
Yes. We can copy data across and preserve folder structure and permissions where possible, then run checks to confirm files are intact. A cutover plan is used to reduce downtime.
Do we need an on-site visit, or can this be done remotely?
Both are possible. If you’re using cloud infrastructure or can provide secure remote access, much can be done remotely; on-site work may be needed for physical servers, networking, or initial access setup.
How is pricing typically worked out for file server setup?
Costs usually depend on the number of users, data size, whether you’re migrating existing files, the type of server (on-prem or cloud), backup requirements, and any compliance needs. A fixed quote is usually possible after a brief scoping call.
What should we prepare before the setup starts?
Have a list of users and teams, who should access which folders, any compliance/security requirements, current data location and size, and admin access to your Microsoft 365/Active Directory or network equipment (as applicable).
