This guide covers the creation of private networks between different Infomaniak hosting offerings such as VPS Cloud / VPS Lite, Public Cloud, Synology NAS, 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 Synology NAS, for example, as they are installed on separate networks.

However, it is possible to create a VLAN between a minimum of 10 VPS Cloud / VPS Lite owned by you (contact Infomaniak support), but a dedicated private network will not be able to communicate with another.

It is recommended to migrate to the Public Cloud offering to create such private networks between VMs.
 

This guide explains how to order a Synology High Availability (HA) NAS from Infomaniak.

What is a Synology High Availability (HA) NAS?

A Synology High Availability (HA) NAS combines two Synology NAS servers into a single high availability cluster. One server assumes the role of an active server, while the other becomes a passive standby server. The active server handles all data requests and services, while everything is continuously replicated to the passive server.

When the active server is unavailable, the passive server automatically takes over to ensure file and application services resume within minutes.

This infrastructure guarantees perfect data redundancy in case of unexpected incidents.

Ordering a Synology High Availability (SHA) NAS

To do this:

1. Order 2 identical Synology NAS devices from the website (all models are compatible).
2. Contact support specifying:
   • The email address associated with your Infomaniak account.
   • The two NAS devices you wish to link.
3. Infomaniak support will send you a confirmation email when everything is ready.
