Description
Robust NAS, unparalleled productivity
DS215+ is an all-in-one 2-bay NAS server offering high performance, energy efficiency, and complete business features in a network attached storage solution. Designed for multitasking applications, DS215+ helps small and medium businesses centralize backup, protect critical assets, and share files quickly and efficiently.
Dual-core CPU brings high performance
With dual-core CPU and Link Aggregation enabled, DS215+ delivers superior performance over 209 MB/s reading and 139 MB/s writing speed under RAID1 configuration in a Windows® environment1, while the 1GB RAM significantly increases DS215+'s multitasking power.
Hardware encryption engine enhances encrypted files transfer speeds
DS215+ is equipped with an encryption engine which offloads the encryption calculation tasks from the main CPU. Thus, the CPU is free for other important tasks, producing a considerable increase in throughput. DS215+ delivers encrypted data transmission speeds twice as fast as its predecessor - delivering an average of over 145 MB/s reading and 71 MB/s writing.
Dual LAN with failover and Link Aggregation support
Equipped with two Gigabit LAN ports featuring failover and Link Aggregation support, DS215+ ensures continual network service in case one LAN connection fails, and enhances connection speeds beyond the limits of a single cable or port. By supporting Adaptive Load Balancing, DS215+ allows you to benefit from failover and load balancing without a pricey switch. Active-standby, 802.3ad dynamic, and Balanced XOR are supported as well.
USB 3.0 and eSATA ensure speedy transfers to external storage
DS215+ boasts USB 3.0 and eSATA ports to connect to various kinds of external storage devices, while ensuring fast and efficient file transfer speeds. USB 3.0 support offers transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbps (about 10 times faster than USB 2.0), taking less time to transfer data to external hard drives and reducing power consumption.
Easy hard drive installation and hot-swappable support
For friendly and effortless hard drive installation, DS215+ features screwless drive bay design and hot-swappable support, allowing users to install 3.5" hard drives without a screwdriver. Installing and replacing drives is easier than ever.

With compatibility for major protocols, DS215+ can eliminate server configuration overhead and enhance IT administrators’ efficiency
All-in-One server
Offering rich office applications, DS215+ can serve as your multi-function server. With add-on packages Mail Server and Mail Station, DS215+ can become a dedicated mail server, and let you enjoy complete webmail service. DS215+ can become a VPN server or VPN client. The comprehensive VPN service let you access resources remotely while maintaining security protocols. As a printer server, DS215+ minimizes businesses' operating costs by sharing printing resources throughout the office. Administration and network tools, such as DNS Server, Directory Server, RADIUS Server, DHCP Server, and Log Center help you manage IT deployment and policies more efficiently. Maximize resource utilization with DS215+!
Increase business productivity with cloud solutions
With comprehensive cloud solutions, DS215+ lets you create your own private cloud easily. Cloud Station is the perfect package to sync files across multiple devices. Files can be edited in offline mode and later synced to Cloud Station, which keeps up to 32 historical versions, allowing you to restore a file back to previous version or recover deleted files. With the mobile app DS cloud, any change made to a file is automatically synced to your smartphones and tablets. For distributed enterprises, Synology's 2-way sync between different DiskStations ensures employees at different locations share the same information in real-time. IT administrators can handpick individual folders that they want to sync to different devices, manually or automatically based on file format and size. Folders synced by Cloud Station can be encrypted on DSM — no one will be able to access its content without your private key.
Secure your data
DS215+ offers advanced security measures to protect you from potential security holes. Security Advisor analyzes system settings, password strength, network preferences and removes any possible malware. AppArmor blocks malicious programs from accessing unauthorized system resources. You can also customize the trust level in Package Center to avoid installing packages from untrusted sources, safeguarding your NAS from unknown or tampered files. In addition, DS215+ provides other security add-ons, such as AES encryption, 2-Step verification
