…And Embedded DataStation EDS14

Synology, Inc. introduced Embedded DataStation EDS14, a palm-sized, NAS server combining durability with reliability, implementing the company’s network storage solutions in a range of application scenarios.

“Designed to survive extreme conditions and harsh environments, the EDS14 is vibration-resistant and complies with the industrial thermal endurance level from -20?C to 50?C,” said Chad Chiang, product manager, Synology. “Its drive-less design and the support for high-speed SDXC UHS-I SD storage and USB 3.0 further maximize system reliability with performance and capacity.“

It measures at 125x125x31mm, nearly 70% smaller than an ordinary 2-bay NAS server, and is suitable for areas where space is a challenge. Despite the compact physical size, it makes no compromise in reliability by engineering the dynamic cooling mechanisms to ensure CPU health in challenging thermal environments.

Optimized for deployment in a variety of environments, it can tolerate dynamic DC input voltage from 7 to 24V, is compatible with PoE splitters, and supports 3G/LTE.

It comes with multiple mounting solutions, including DIN rail, and a schedulable DC output to power peripheral devices, making it a good fit for versatile deployment.

It is capable of handling data downloads at 111.77 MB/s in a Windows environment. By accommodating dual LAN ports with failover support, it maximizes network service uptime while optimizing bandwidth utilization.

It is pre-installed with DSM, an OS that provides a host of applications to bring better productivity at work and.

Synology was honored with PCMag Business Choice Award 2013 and received the highest rating in every element of the survey, including reliability, overall satisfaction, value, and likelihood to recommend.
