Backup provides multi-version backup with optimized storage utilization and allows multiple

backup destinations to local shared folders, external hard drives, network shared folders, rsync
server, and public cloud services. Synology High Availability Manager ensures seamless
transition between clustered servers in the event of server failure with minimal impact to
applications to decrease the risk of unexpected interruptions and costly downtime.

Energy Efcient and Easy Management Design

Synology DS216+II is designed and developed with energy eciency in mind. Compared with
the average storage server counterparts, DS216+II consumes only 17.4W in regular operation.
The support of Wake on LAN/WAN and scheduled power on and o can further reduce
power consumption and operation cost. HDD hibernation can be congured to take eect
automatically when the system has been inactive for a specied period of time. This not only
saves energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disks.

All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and packed with recyclable
packing materials. Synology acknowledges the responsibility as a global citizen to continually
work to reduce the environmental impact of every product produced.
