 2.Provide complete data storage mechanism

By using NAS devices to build local and off-site synchronous backup mechanism, information personnel can assist in restoring the operation in a short time when the relevant system equipment or computers are damaged; or in case of any natural, technical or human-generated hazardous events, the risk of data loss and irreversibility can be greatly reduced.

In addition, through regular education and promotion by information personnel, employees can make good use of online collaborative operation tools to complete tasks more quickly and safely in this fast-changing information generation, thus enhancing team work efficiency
