QNAP Systems, Inc. has been recognised for its innovation in data protection and hybrid cloud backup, with myQNAPcloud One receiving the 2025 Backup and Disaster Recovery Award from Cloud Computing Magazine, published by TMC.
The award recognises cloud technologies that enable organisations to remain operational even during disruptive events. Solutions considered for the award demonstrate the ability to protect business-critical data, minimise downtime, and maintain operational continuity during incidents such as system failures, cyberattacks, or infrastructure outages.
Cloud Computing Magazine’s Backup and Disaster Recovery Awards highlight vendors that are delivering meaningful advancements in data resilience. These technologies are designed to help organisations maintain productivity even under challenging circumstances, reducing the operational and financial impact of downtime.
The recognition of myQNAPcloud One reflects its role in simplifying hybrid cloud backup and recovery for businesses that rely on NAS-based infrastructure.
According to Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, the award celebrates companies that are bringing innovation to the cloud computing market while adopting the latest technology trends.
myQNAPcloud One provides a unified hybrid cloud experience designed specifically for organisations using QNAP NAS systems.
The platform combines two key services within a single subscription model:
This architecture allows organisations to manage both backup and object storage workloads within the same environment while allocating subscribed capacity dynamically based on demand. Rather than managing separate cloud subscriptions, businesses can utilise storage resources across both services as their needs evolve.
The result is a more flexible approach to hybrid cloud storage, particularly for organisations already leveraging NAS infrastructure for primary data storage or backup.
As data volumes increase and cyber threats continue to evolve, resilient backup strategies have become a core requirement for modern IT environments. Hybrid cloud models are increasingly used to provide additional protection and recovery options beyond on-premise infrastructure.
According to Vivian Luo, Product Manager at QNAP, the objective behind myQNAPcloud One was to reduce the complexity often associated with hybrid cloud backup. The solution integrates directly with the NAS interface, enabling administrators to configure cloud backup and disaster recovery without requiring additional platforms.
The platform also supports features such as data immutability, an important capability in defending against ransomware attacks by ensuring that protected backup data cannot be altered or deleted within a defined retention period.
Many organisations are now adopting hybrid storage strategies that combine on-premise NAS infrastructure with cloud-based backup and disaster recovery services. This approach offers several advantages:
Solutions such as myQNAPcloud One aim to streamline this architecture by integrating cloud protection directly into the NAS ecosystem.
For organisations already deploying QNAP infrastructure, the recognition of myQNAPcloud One highlights the continued evolution of the vendor’s hybrid cloud capabilities.
As data protection strategies move beyond traditional backup models toward more resilient, hybrid architectures, platforms that integrate cloud services directly with on-premise storage systems are becoming increasingly important.
Businesses evaluating backup and disaster recovery strategies should consider how hybrid cloud models can strengthen operational continuity while maintaining control over critical data.
Fortuna Data works with organisations to design resilient storage and data protection architectures combining on-premise infrastructure, NAS platforms, and hybrid cloud services to ensure business continuity.
