Performance and flexibility RackStation RS2423(RP)+

Offering a performance increase over its predecessor with sequential read/write speeds of over 3,500/1,700 MB/s, the RS2423(RP)+ packs a punch. This device features built-in 10GbE connectivity along with 2 x 1GbE ports with support for additional 10/25GbE networking. The 12-bays of RS2423(RP)+ support up to 216 TB of total storage capacity and can be expanded to 24 bays with an RX1223RP Expansion Unit for up to 432 TB of storage.

For businesses with low latency or high random I/O performance demands, SATA SSDs can be used to create flash array volumes or designated as read/write cache to speed up HDD volumes.

Designed for reliability RS2423(RP)+

The two gigabit Ethernet ports of RS2423(RP)+ can be bonded with Link Aggregation to enable automatic network failover and load balancing while two RS2423(RP)+ units can be paired using Synology High Availability to form a reliable active/passive server cluster, maximizing service uptime. Additionally, the RS2423RP+ features a redundant power supply for an extra edge in service continuity.

RS2423(RP)+ A versatile data platform

RS2423(RP)+ includes a suite of reliable file management, sharing, and synchronization solutions.

Connect and sync data between devices, keeping remote teams and offices up-to-date automatically.

Businesses with greater syncing requirements can leverage the power of the cloud to enable even higher productivity and lower maintenance needs. Hybrid Share keeps multiple sites in sync using less bandwidth, as files only need to be uploaded once to C2 servers. Frequently accessed data is cached locally, providing immediate and fast access while streaming other files as needed, reducing the storage footprint required. Additionally, unexpected storage demands can be met with flexible on-demand cloud storage.

Synology Surveillance Station. Versatile video surveillance

Synology Surveillance Station is a powerful and flexible VMS with support for over 8,300 validated and ONVIF-certified IP cameras.
