Synology Launches Budget-Friendly, Business-Grade NAS DiskStation DS211+
REDMOND, Wash., -- Synology America Corp. today launched the DiskStation DS211+, a high-performance and full-featured 2-bay NAS server for office and enthusiast users to share files, centralize backup, and protect data.
The latest addition to the professional class of DiskStations comes with Synology's distinctive DiskStation Manager (DSM) 3.0 software to provide an intuitive interface for managing the server.
As part of the revamped design, the DS211+ offers hot-swap drive bays, which will help businesses to minimize downtime in the event of a drive failure. Priced around $400, this is the first DiskStation to offer this feature at this price point. For photographers, it also offers an integrated SD card reader, making for easier transfers to the NAS.
"When you factor in the benefits of the newer hardware on productivity, this is just a great answer to the needs of small businesses," said Jason Bonoan, Product Marketing Manager at Synology America. "With support for 3TB drives, that allows for volumes up to 6TB, plenty of space for many small businesses. This new model just represents a value unmatched by DAS so-called 'solutions.'"
In addition to the expected NAS duties, such as file sharing and remote access and management, Surveillance Station 5 allows the DiskStation to become an NVR solution. As a surveillance solution, it supports up to 12 IP channels at once, chosen from a list of over 700 camera models.
With DSM 3.0, it offers business users such features as:
-- ADS integration (with support for domains up to 100,000 users and groups)
-- Enhanced iSCSI support (including persistent reservations)
-- Hardware encryption engine with 256 bit AES share-level encryption
Using the intuitive DSM 3.0 interface, it is simple to manage all aspects of the server. Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) allows users to easily create a redundant volume, protecting their data against disk failure without requiring expertise with RAID technology. In addition, the DS211+ is backed by a competitive 2-year warranty and in-house technical support with no extra charge.
