C2 Identity is one of Synology’s all-new cloud-based directory service that administers your entire organization’s Windows and macOS workstations and provisions new devices from a centralized console. C2 Identity allows IT admins to accomplish a centralized account, IT resource, and device management from a directory server instead of storing and managing credentials and permissions on each device. Unlike other pure-cloud solutions, C2 Identity has integrated Synology’s existing competencies by introducing a hybrid cloud architecture where it works with on-premises LDAP-compatible services through a local Synology NAS or through a Docker container, enabling a fast and secure way to streamline all the user authentication processes.
