This guide concerns the creation of private networks between different Infomaniak hosting offers such as VPS Cloud / VPS Lite, Public Cloud, NAS Synology, etc.

Create a VLAN between VPS

It is not possible to create a private network (VLAN) between VPS Cloud / VPS Lite and other products, such as NAS Synology for example, because they are installed on separate networks.

However, it is possible to create a VLAN between at least 10 VPS Cloud / VPS Lite that you own (contact Infomaniak support) however a dedicated private network will not be able to communicate with another.

It is recommended to migrate to the **Public Cloud** offer to create such private networks between VM.

This guide explains how to get a Synology High Availability NAS from Infomaniak to ensure perfect data redundancy in the event of an unexpected incident.

Preamble

• A High Availability Synology NAS combines two Synology NAS servers in a single high availability cluster.
• One server assumes the role of active server, while the other becomes a passive monitor server.
• The active server supports all requests and data services, while everything is continuously replicated to the passive server.
• When the active server is unavailable, the passive server automatically takes over to ensure the recovery of application file services within minutes.

Order a Synology High Availability (SHA)

To this end:

1. Order 2 identical Synology NAS from the site (all models are compatible)
2. Contact Infomaniak Support by specifying...
   • ...the email address associated with your Infomaniak account,
   • ...the two NAS you want to bind.
3. Infomaniak support will send you a confirmation by email when everything is ready.
