*\*Available with DSM 4.1 or newer.* close **Robust Scalability**

• With up to 424TB of total storage capacity*, the RS10613xs+ Storage Server is designed to grow with business and provides the ability to seamlessly expand a single volume up to 108TB on the fly.

When the capacity of the storage server nears its limit, expansion is easily accomplished with the Synology RX1213sas Expansion Unit. This storage server supports up to 106 SATA, SAS or SSD drives for flexible capacity and balanced performance to meet the needs of varying applications and processes.

Management of large storage space on the storage server is simple and flexible. Unlike standard RAID arrangements, volume on this storage server can be created on grouped RAID array structures, providing higher reliability by distributing risk of disk failure and making management of storage across all hard drives more flexible and efficient. When the need for more space arises, the volume can be easily expanded without any service disruption. ³

Synology's Virtualization Support

VMware VAAI Support

• Synology has acquired itself with readiness for VMware vSphere 5 and full VAAI support. Full VAAI support includes Hardware Assisted Locking (ATS), Block Zero, Full Copy and Thin Provisioning. When deploying Synology RackStation, businesses are entitled for: • Faster operation performance of VMs achieved by offloading cycles from ESXi to storage array. • More effective utilisation of storage arrays delivered by virtual machines with VAAI support. • Better flexibility for deploying and migrating VMs. • Higher storage performance and storage efficiency with VMFS-5 file system. • Smoother access and management efficiency with load balancing automation in Storage vMotion.

• To show how VAAI support can improve performance in practice, here are some key figures and testing summary*: • Hardware Assisted Locking: Creating multiple VMs is 9 times faster with ATS enabled. • Block Zero: Creating a VM with Write Same support is nearly 140 times faster than on a non-VAAI LUN. • Full Copy: Copying a VM on a VAAI LUN is 34 times faster than on a non-VAAI LUN. ⁵

Please Note:

*\*Testing environment and specifications for VAAI: ESXi server specifications: Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GHz Quad Core; 8G RAM; Intel 82574L Gigabit x2 NIC; OS: ESXi 5.0.0 504890; Motherboard: MSI MS-7740.* close **Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V**

• Synology RackStation has passed the Windows Server 2012 certification. Businesses are able to leverage the functionalities of Microsoft-certified storage solutions including live storage migration, capability, Hyper-V Replica and storage capacity. Businesses that deploy servers with the Windows Server 2012 certification are entitled to: • Boost performance and flexibility when migrating running VM without downtime. • Accelerate VM capability to simplify management and cost. • Allocate up to 64 virtual processors and up to 1TB memory. • Leverage VHDX format and its ability to support up to 64TB storage per virtual hard disk to flexibly accommodate to enterprise request. • Ensure business continuity and minimise disaster recovery time with real-time VM remote replication.

Domain Integration

Extensive Support for Active Directory and LDAP

• The RS10613xs+ Storage Server provides extensive support for Active Directory and LDAP to give businesses the flexibility and simplicity they need to manage a complex organisation. By joining the Active Directory or LDAP domain service, end users gain single sign-on to the storage server through their domain account. IT managers can host their own LDAP server and centrally manage access and account control with ease. With the same domain account, end users can also access various DSM services directly.

Joining Active Directory

• As an industry standard, the Active Directory Domain Services (ADDS) from Microsoft provides many advantages in managing a complex network. IT managers can centrally store device names, user names, passwords and other information in one place, enhance network security, reduce overhead cost and more. When the storage server is joined to an Active Directory, IT managers don't need to create separate accounts and duplicate security information, while end users can use a single domain account to access the server.

Hosting LDAP Server

• The RS10613xs+ Storage Server can act as an independent LDAP server to provide businesses with centralised account and permission management and enhanced security through a simple-to-use management interface. IT managers can use the LDAP server to create domain user accounts and define access rights for shared folders, storage quota and various DSM applications on the storage server. IT managers can also join the storage server to an existing LDAP domain service.

DSM Apps Integration

• In addition to accessing shared folders and files in the network, the storage server allows end users to access various DSM services and apps directly with a single domain account. For example, IT managers can allow end users to access Cloud Station to sync files across multiple devices or facilitate project collaboration.

Synology High Availability

Ensures Business Continuity

• In this modern competitive global economy, businesses can't afford to have their mission-critical services be offline for even a short period of time. In this regard, the Synology High Availability (SHA) solution provides a reliable, simple-to-use failover mechanism to recover from physical and service failures. • Automate system recovery and resume service efficiently. • Heartbeat mechanism to detect and respond to system failure timely. • Web-based, easy-to-use management interface.

Heartbeat and Failover Protection

• The SHA harnesses dual Synology storage servers into a high available cluster. The Heartbeat feature allows a primary and backup server to determine if the other is "alive." When one of the servers experiences service or physical failure, the other fails over resources and resumes service automatically. Instal SHA on your Synology storage server to minimise service downtime.

Affordable Solution for SMBs

• The primary strength of the RS10613xs+ Storage Server is the ability to provide rich features to all user groups at an affordable cost. SMBs that have limited budget can take advantage of the SHA solution to ensure their important services and data are well protected.
