Btrfs: Next Generation Storage Efficiency

FS6400 introduces the Btrfs file system, bringing the most advanced

storage technologies to meet the management needs of modern

businesses:

• Advanced snapshot technology provides schedulable,

near-instantaneous data protection of shared folders and iSCSI LUNs.

• File and folder level data restoration brings huge conveniences

and saves time for users who wish to restore only a specific file or

folder.

• Flexible shared folder and user quota system provide

comprehensive quota control on all user accounts and shared

folders.

• File self-healing: Btrfs file system is able to auto-detect corrupted

files with mirrored metadata and recover broken data using the

supported RAID volumes, which include RAID1, 5, 6, 10, and Synology

RAID F1.

Enterprise-Grade Applications

Powered by the innovative Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), FS6400

comes fully-equipped with applications and features designed specifically

for large-scale businesses:

• Windows® AD and LDAP support allows easy integration with

existing business directory services.

• Windows ACL support provides fine-grained access control and

efficient privilege settings, allowing FS6400 to fit seamlessly into

existing infrastructure.

• Internet file access is simplified by the encrypted FTP server and

the web-based file explorer Synology File Station. HTTPS, firewall,

and IP auto-block support ensures file sharing over the Internet is

protected with a high level of security.

• Application privileges control access to applications and packages

based on each individual account, user group, or IP address.

Effortless Virtualization Deployment

Virtual Machine Manager

Virtual Machine Manager implements various
virtualization solutions, allowing you to manage
multiple virtual machines on your FS6400, including
Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM.

Synology iSCSI storage fully supports most virtualization solutions to

enhance work efficiency with a simple management interface. VMware®

vSphere 6.5 and VAAI integration helps offload storage operations and

optimizes computation efficiency. Windows Offloaded Data Transfer

(ODX) speeds up data transfer and migration rates, while OpenStack®

Cinder support turns your Synology NAS into a block-based storage

component.

Synology Virtual Machine Manager adds boundless capabilities to

your NAS. Set up and run various virtual machines, including Windows,

Linux, and Virtual DSM, so that you can test new software versions in a

sandbox environment, isolate your customers' machines, and increase

the flexibility of your FS6400 with reduced hardware deployment and

maintenance costs.
