Synology Introduces 2U 12-bay Rackmount NAS

Synology, Inc. launched RackStation RS2414+ and RS2414RP+, the 2U 12-bay rackmount NAS servers that deliver performance and scalability to SMBs.

“RS2414+ and RS2414RP+ are built to address SMB’s growing needs of performance, capacity and reliability“, said Chad Chiang, product manager, Synology. “An array of advanced hardware designs and reliability features are thus applied to ensure those needs are perfectly answered,.”

The RS2414+/RS2414RP+ is designed to answer to the demand of performance for a storage system. Running on a 2.13GHz dual-core processor, it delivers high performance with read and write speeds at 339MB/s and 209MB/s respectively under RAID-5 configuration in a Windows environment with Link Aggregation enabled. In addition, it boosts multitasking power with 2GB DDR3 RAM, twice the size of its predecessor. Memory of the NAS is also expandable to 4GB.

Affordable scalability is what matters to SMBs. Paired with expansion units RX1214/RX1214RP with a connection cable that ensures maximum throughput, the RS2414+/RS2414RP+ can be expanded to 96TB.

With a set of reliable mechanisms, the RS2414+/RS2414RP+ assures users of availability. Both units are equipped with passive CPU cooling technology, system fan redundancy, hot-swappable drives, and four LAN ports with failover support, which altogether eliminate single point of failure and ensure continuous system uptime. They come with redundant power supplies to further guarantee system reliability.

They run on DiskStation Manager (DSM) 4.3, a web-based OS that provides a host of applications to bring better productivity at work. DSM 4.2, the last versionwas honored Best Choice Award and Media’s Choice Award at Computex 2013.
