Synology offers eight bays and more power in its new DS1821+ unit

Este NAS cuenta con un procesador de última generación que proporciona mayor rendimiento, capacidad de almacenamiento y velocidad de respuesta.

Disponible ya en el mercado, Synology ha presentado su nueva unidad de almacenamiento NAS de alta capacidad DS1821+, un sistema con ocho bahías y alto rendimiento diseñado para la gestión y el almacenamiento de datos a gran escala.

DS1821+ ofrece a los creadores de contenido y a las empresas el ecosistema completo de aplicaciones de Synology y una capacidad de almacenamiento ampliable.

Así lo explica Julien Chen, product manager of Synology: “nuestros usuarios nos exigen nuevas soluciones de gestión de datos que cubran sus necesidades y cumplan con los todos requisitos en cuanto a rendimiento y capacidad. DS1821+ está especialmente diseñado para aquellos que buscan una solución de almacenamiento versátil, potente y segura, incluso en entornos exigentes con multiusuario”.

Este modelo incorpora un procesador AMD RyzenTM de cuatro núcleos, convirtiéndose en la unidad más potente de la serie Plus del fabricante, de manera que este nuevo NAS dobla la capacidad de su predecesor, ofreciendo un rendimiento superior y un tiempo de respuesta más rápido en aplicaciones exigentes de procesado de archivos como Synology Drive o Moments.

Dispone de dos ranuras compatibles con unidades de caché SSD NVMe SNV3400 de Synology, lo que permite multiplicar el rendimiento de transmisión aleatoria por veinte en los datos a los que se accede con mayor frecuencia. También es posible instalar un NIC de 10 GbE PCIe to increase network performance, reaching over 2.312,97 MB/s of sequential read and 1.149,89 MB/s of sequential write.

Flexible and expandable storage

Synology DS1821+ has eight bays for LFF SATA (3,5”) or SFF disks (2,5”), which can be expanded up to eighteen using two DX517 expansion units. El sistema operativo DiskStation Manager (DSM) from Synology allowing JBOD and RAID0 processes, 1, 5, 6 y 10.

Besides, thanks to Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) users can create arrays using an odd number of drives, while increasing the array's storage potential. This way it is possible to use older drives with different capacities.

The DSM operating system also allows storage capacity upgrades, after setting up the device easily, adding new units to expand the array. The process does not interrupt NAS services or functions and can also be extended to RAID configuration, moving from a lower level to a higher one simply.

Professional data protection

Synology's backup and restore solutions protect stored data, both on the DS1821+ and in external locations. Active Backup Suite protects IT infrastructure by performing efficient and centralized backups, from Windows and Linux-based servers and computers, virtual machines on VMware and Hyper-V hypervisors, and Google Workspace and Microsoft platforms 365 SaaS.

As a complement, Snapshot Replication creates periodic and programmable recovery points, which allows undoing unwanted edits quickly, even in the case of encrypted files ransomware in shared folders or iSCSI LUNs.

Besides, with Synology Hyper Backup it is possible to achieve extra protection by scheduling backups to other NAS devices from the manufacturer, to USB drives, to Synology C2 cloud or with public cloud providers.

DiskStation Manager 7.0

Besides, the company has presented the new version of its DiskStation Manager operating system (DSM) during its virtual event 2021 AND Beyond, which has been completely redesigned and offers new functions regarding storage, creation of backups and access to hybrid cloud in the data management systems and NAS of the manufacturer.

The amount of data processed daily constantly increases. The evolution of artificial intelligence, IoT, telemedicine or data analysis demand from computer equipment greater capacity and performance - assures Philip Wong, founder and CEO of Synology -. This has a huge impact on our lifestyle and the way of doing business, generating a 'data economy' that offers competitive advantages to companies.

DSM 7.0 improves all aspects of the Synology operating system, from storage management and user interface, to cloud-compatible functions, like large-scale device monitoring and on-demand storage.

We have built DSM 7.0 on the previous versions of our platform to tackle the main challenges in security, reliability and management that exist today. We design our solutions to serve both individuals and SMEs, large companies or data managers, says Wong.
