Description

RS815 is a scalable 1U 4-bay rackmount NAS built to help businesses effectively store, protect, and share data. Rich enterprise features and stability are packed into the compact hardware design, making it ideal for growing small businesses with limited space or budget.

Introducing a shallow 12-inch chassis design - 37% shorter than its predecessor - RS815 can be deployed with as compact as a 2-post rack or a wall-mount server rack. For companies where space is at a premium, it demonstrates how uncompromising performance and functionality are achievable even within such a small footprint.

RS815 is equipped with a dual-core CPU featuring a built-in floating-point unit which enhances the overall capability of the main CPU, enabling higher working efficiency, while 1 GB RAM significantly increases RS815's multi-tasking power. It delivers an average of over 216 MB/sec reading speed, and over 121 MB/sec writing under RAID 5 configuration in a Windows environment.

RS815 comes with dual LAN failover support to ensure continual network service in case of LAN failure, while the hot-swappable design facilitates easy and risk-free hard drive replacement. The hard drive tray lock design further secures your hard drives from unauthorized or accidental withdrawal.

RS815 optimizes your working experiences by enabling faster and more efficient data transfers. To ensure scalability, RS815 provides an eSATA and two USB 3.0 interfaces in the back to speed up data transfer with Synology expansion unit and external hard drives.

  • Effective backup solution

    Synology RS815 can serve as a centralized backup target. Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, you can back up everything on your computer directly to Synology NAS using Cloud Station. Whenever you modify a file, the changes are backed up to RS815 automatically. Mac users also enjoy native Apple Time Machine support. You can also back up data from your RS815 to another DiskStation, rsync servers, external drives, or even Amazon S3, Glacier cloud service, Microsoft Azure, SFR, and hicloud. "Backup & Replication" allows you to schedule backup tasks and restore the server to any particular point in time, while minimizing storage consumption and processing time by saving only the specific data block that has been changed between versions.
  • Fit into business environments easily

    With the support of Windows AD, LDAP, and Domain Trust, RS815 enables seamless account integration. The User Home feature can automatically create a "home" folder for every user account to minimize the administrator's effort in repeatedly creating "home" folders for all accounts. Windows ACL support on RS815 allows IT administrators to fine tune access controls and set up privileges to files and folders on RS815 through the familiar Windows user interface. With compatibility for major protocols, RS815 can eliminate server configuration overhead and enhance IT administrators' efficiency.
  • All-in-one server

    Offering rich office applications, RS815 can serve as your multi-function server. With add-on packages Mail Server and Mail Station, RS815 can become a dedicated mail server, and let you enjoy complete webmail service. RS815 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, RS815 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 RS815!
  • Eco-friendly NAS server

    All Synology NAS is designed with energy efficiency in mind. RS815 only consumes 14.35 W in HDD hibernation and 28.59 W in access. The support of Wake on LAN/WAN and scheduled power on and off can further reduce power consumption and operation cost. Synology acknowledges the responsibility as a global citizen, so all Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable packing materials.
