Synology has launched DiskStation DS212+ and DS212, two-bay NAS servers operated by the Synology’s DiskStation Manager (DSM). The DS212+ provides small and medium-sized businesses with high-performance business applications. Featuring an optimal price to performance ratio, the DS212 offers a myriad of applications at an affordable price tag, appealing to home and business workgroups.

“With the launch of the DS212+ and the DS212, Synology has ushered in an advanced hardware design that delivers fast data transfer rates, and in the meantime, allows the system to run quieter,”

said Darren Lin, product manager of Synology Inc.

Both models boast read and write speeds exceeding 109 MB/sec and 54 MB/sec respectively under RAID 1 configuration, and offer USB 3.0 support to deliver transmission speeds of up to 5Gbps, 10 times faster than USB 2.0 ports, providing users with fast and reliable solutions for data transport and backup. With drive-noise damping features, both models reach a noise level of below 19.8 dB(A), quieter than the rustling of leaves measured at 20 dB(A).

The DS212+ and the DS212 are both equipped with one SD card slot to provide a plug-n-save solution. The DS212+ provides one eSATA port as another data backup option. Hot-swappable hard drives are available in both models to facilitate system reliability. In addition to the hardware upgrades, the DS212+ and the DS212 are energy efficient, consuming no more than 19 watts in operation and even less than 8 watts when they hibernate.

Both models run DiskStation Manager 3.2 (DSM 3.2), the operating system of every Synology NAS Server. DSM makes complicated things simple and hard things possible by providing versatile features on a snappy, intuitive, and multitasking web-based user interface

Synology has announced the availability of DiskStation DS712+, a high performance and scalable 2-bay NAS server designed for small and medium businesses.

“Synology DS712+ presents tremendous opportunity for SMB owners wishing to have the flexibility of scaling up to a larger storage solution from a smaller form factor. As small businesses grow, so does their data. With Synology DX510 expansion unit, the DS712+ offers a unique solution by scaling up a compact 2-bay NAS server into a 7-bay storage on-the-fly, providing up to 21TB of storage capacity,”

said Chad Chiang, product manager of Synology Inc.

Powered by a 1.8GHz dual core processor with Link Aggregation enabled, the read speed of the DS712+ outperforms its predecessor by 60% faster at 180.91 MB/sec and average write speed at 105.59 MB/sec under RAID 1 configuration. To ensure high availability to stored data, the DS712+ features front mount hot swappable drives with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for failover protection to prevent unexpected service downtime.
By introducing fresh external enhancement of two additional side ventilations and a larger 92mm fan, the DS712+ has vastly elevated its overall airflow and minimized the noise level to 19.2dB(A). Power consumption is further reduced to 27.5 watts under full operation and 17.6 watts when hard drives enter hibernation mode.

The DS712+ features comprehensive iSCSI support with a seamless storage solution for major virtualization servers, including VMware® vSphere™, Citrix® XenServer™ and Microsoft® Hyper-V™. Furthermore, the DS712+ offers flawless integration into ADS and LDAP environments with Windows® ACL support for easy account and privilege management.

The DS712+ is running on DiskStation Manager 3.2 (DSM 3.2), the operating system of every Synology NAS Server. DSM makes complicated things simple and hard things possible by providing versatile features on a snappy, intuitive, and multitasking web-based user interface. Acknowledged for its continuous worldwide recognition, Synology received WINMAG Pro’s “2011 SMB Proof Award” for the same series DS411+II.
