Today Synology Inc. launched RS1221+ and RS1221RP+ (redundant power) 2U. The 8-bay rack-mounted storage server is built to deliver high performance in a space-efficient form factor.
“The RackStation RS1221+ and RP+ units are designed for the small-business sector, and they are indeed small,” said Michael Wang, Synology Product Manager. “These units not only pack a huge leap forward in performance, they do it at a modest depth for 2U units in their class. What’s more, for businesses who require higher availability, the RP+ version is equipped with dual power supplies for redundancy and added reliability.”
Breaking new grounds – The RackStation RS1221+ and RS1221RP+ are the first of their series built around the AMD Ryzen V1500B processor. Compared to their predecessor1, they deliver 3.6x higher compute performance2, which translates to faster performance in data management and backup tasks.
Compact servers for space-sensitive deployments – At only 12.1″ and 16″ deep, the RackStation RS1221+ and RS1221RP+ are less than half the depth of standard 2U rack-mounted devices, making them ideal for smaller rackmount enclosures, such as wall mounted cabinets, or two-post racks (RS1221+ only), where space is at a premium.
Customizable to meet business requirements – The units are configured with 4 GB of DDR4 ECC memory, upgradable to 32 GB. Its PCIe 3.0 slot enables easy upgrading to 10GbE with a compatible NIC3, or adding NVMe cache via Synology M.2 cards and Synology SVN3000 series SSDs4.
Making data management and protection a breeze – Synology Diskstation Manager (DSM), Synology’s unified operating system, simplifies difficult and cumbersome data management processes while still giving users ample control over decisions that matter. It enables backup of IT infrastructure with the Synology Active Backup suite and hosting of on-premises private cloud with Synology Drive, virtual machines with Virtual Machine Manager, mail servers with MailPlus, and other SaaS services.
Availability
RS1221+ ($1299.99) and RS1221RP+ ($1699.99) are available starting today from Synology resellers globally.
