High Performance

The Synology DS212+ is designed for business users who require a reliable storage solution and demand high-performance for file sharing. The Synology DS212+ delivers an average 109 MB/sec reading and 56 MB/sec writing speeds under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows® environment. Coming with USB 3.0 support which offers transmission speeds of up to 5 Gbps, namely 10 times faster than USB 2.0, DS212+ takes less time for data transfer for external hard drives and consumes less power. In addition, hot-swappable drives make it easier for maintenance and hard drive replacement.

Fit to Business Environment

Comprehensive network protocol support assures seamless file sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® platforms. Windows® ADS and LDAP integration allows the Synology DS212+ to quickly and easily fit in an existing business network environment with no need to recreate user accounts. Windows® ACL support provides much finer-grained access control and efficient privilege settings, allowing users to enjoy native Windows experience.

Internet file access is simplified by the encrypted FTP server and the web-based File Browser. HTTPS, the built-in firewall, and IP auto-block support ensure file sharing over the Internet is protected at a high security level.

Rich Office Applications

Synology DS212+ runs on the renowned operating system, Synology DiskStation Manager, offering applications and features designed specifically for SMBs. Directory Server package turns Synology DS212+ into an LDAP-based directory server which is capable of centralizing the management and authentication of user accounts for different applications, therefore enhancing network security and reducing management costs. Syslog Server is an add-on package that turns your Synology DS212+ into a system log server, centralizing logs from multiple servers to your DS212+ to provide higher log preservation capability, server status transparency and help trouble shooting efficiency against multiple servers.

The built-in mail server offers a professional mail service and the USB printer sharing capability minimizes businesses' cost by sharing printing resources throughout the office. VPN Server package offers an easy VPN solution that turns your DS212+ into a VPN server, providing a secure way of connecting to a private LAN at a remote location.

Complete Backup Solutions

A backup wizard is provided for backing up data from DS212+ to another Synology DiskStation or any rsync server via an encrypted connection, or to an external hard drive via USB 3.0 or eSATA connection. The wizard also makes it easy to back up DiskStation data to the cloud via Amazon® S3. In addition, users can back up and restore DiskStation shared folders in multiple versions using Synology Time Backup package.

Shared Folder Sync allows users to synchronize a specific folder from Synology DS212+ to another DiskStation- a server-to-client backup mechanism that takes place whenever something is changed on the server side. Users will be able to share documents within their local office seamlessly and safely with encrypted connection. When your DiskStation is down, you will be able to have an immediate backup running in no time.

Peace of Mind with Data Encryption

The Synology DS212+ is equipped with an encryption engine which offloads the encryption calculation task away from the main CPU, helping to improve file transfer speeds of the DiskStation. Data protection is an important matter for businesses of all sizes. High-end features previously available only on enterprise level hardware are now accessible via Synology DS212+ to small and medium-sized businesses. DS212+ provides share-level AES 256-bit encryption to aid in the prevention of unauthorized access attempts to the hard drives.

Energy Efficient with Cool and Quiet Design

Synology DS212+ is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Not only does it provide a 92x92 mm fan and the smart airflow to keep the system running cool 24/7, its noise dampening design makes it really quiet compared to PC counterparts. The support of Wake on LAN/WAN, multiple scheduled power on/off and hard drive hibernation can further reduce power consumption and operation cost.
