Learn moreWhere are the Active Insight servers located?Active Insight is hosted in our C2 data center in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.What are the differences between Synology Central Management System (CMS) and Active Insight?​
Synology Central Management System (CMS) is designed to provide powerful central management of Synology devices in a single deployment and requires a Synology NAS to act as host. CMS is ideal for initial deployment and continuous management of storage devices within one domain or network, for example by setting up group policies or running scripts on select Synology NAS.Active Insight is a cloud-powered monitoring platform that provides limited central monitoring features for Synology NAS distributed globally, across one or several Synology Accounts. In addition to storage and performance metrics, Active Insight also provides Hyper Backup monitoring and unusual login activity monitoring.
