Synology Releases Its Largest Rack-mount NAS to Date: RackStation RS2211RP+

REDMOND, Wash., March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Synology America Corp. is pleased to announce the release of the RS2211RP+ and its companion RX1211RP. The RS2211RP+ offers affordable performance, scalability, and redundancy in a 2U configuration. The native 10-bay server pairs seamlessly with the RX1211RP, for on-the-fly expansion up to 22 drives. That makes for up to 66TB storage.

The RS2211RP+ and the RX1211RP both feature redundant power supplies to help business users maximize their uptime. By allowing users to scale up capacity on the fly, Synology helps businesses to tailor their storage to their immediate needs without sacrificing their growth potential, saving money. This allows administrators to allocate and increase space as they need it.

"This new RackStation makes for a very affordable addition to the server room," said Doug Self, Product Marketing Manager at Synology America Corp. "The performance and scalable capacity can't be beat in this price range."

The RS2211RP+ boasts write speeds of up to 166MB/s and up to 198MB/s read speeds. This RackStation is designed to offer an economical storage solution for businesses.

The RX1211RP expansion module adds an additional 12 drives to the server. It connects using an Infiniband cable, capable of up to 12Gb/s transfer rates.

Running DiskStation Manager (DSM) 3.1, administrators will find much to love at this price point:

--  Multiple Volumes on RAID to offer more granular control of storage
        allocation
    --  Multiple LUNS on RAID to offer finer control of iSCSI storage
    --  Same DiskStation Manager software runs on all models, offering unified
        interface

Slated to be released in mid to late April, it should debut under $3000. Please find more information here:
