RS18017xs+
Engineered for scalability to meet any storage demands, Synology RackStation RS18017xs+ provides
reliable, high-performance network attached storage for enterprises seeking exible storage solutions.
With scalability of up to 180 drives, RS18017xs+ allows simple data management with minimal time
investment required for setup and maintenance. Synology RS18017xs+ is backed by Synology’s 5-year
limited warranty.
Powerful Storage Solution with Ample Upgradability
Powered by an Intel Xeon D-1531 6-core CPU and 16GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM
(expandable up to 128GB), Synology RS18017xs+ is the ideal companion for
intensive data processing, video post-productions, and virtualization applications
that increasingly require more storage space.
RS18017xs+ comes natively with dual 10GBase-T ports and four Gigabit
ports, along with two 8-lane PCIe 3.0 slots for additional high-performance
network interface cards (NICs). When congured with 6 x 10GbE ports with Link
Aggregation enabled, RS18017xs+ provides ultra-high sequential throughput at
over 4,800MB/s and 568,000 sequential IOPS1.
RS18017xs+ features 12 x 3.5" drive bays in a 2U form factor and allows pairing
up to 7 expansion units for a combined 180 drives or 96 drives when paired
with Synology Expansion Unit RX2417sas or RX1217sas respectively2.
• 7 x RX1217sas for additional 84 x 3.5" / 2.5" SAS / SATA HDD / SSD drives
• 7 x RX2417sas for additional 168 x 2.5" SAS / SATA HDD / SSD drives
Rock-Solid Data Protection
The Snapshot Replication application provides schedulable, near-instantaneous
data protection. It replicates 65,000 system-wide backup copies to osite servers
and local volumes, bringing near-instantaneous data protection and ensuring
data in shared folders or virtual machines in iSCSI LUNs remain available in the
event of a disaster.
With block-level incremental backup and cross-version deduplication, Synology
Hyper Backup provides multi-version backup with optimized storage space
utilization and allows multiple backup destinations to local shared folders,
external hard drives, network shared folders, rsync server, and public cloud
services.

Btrfs: Next Generation Storage Eciency
RS18017xs+ integrates the Btrfs le system, bringing the most advanced storage
technologies to meet the management needs of modern large-scale businesses:
• Flexible Shared Folder / User Quota System provides comprehensive quota
control on all user accounts and shared folders.
• Advanced snapshot technology with customizable backup schedule allows
up to 1,024 copies of shared folder backups and 65,000 copies of system-wide
snapshots without occupying huge storage capacity and system resources.
• File or folder level data restoration brings huge convenience and saves time
for users who wish to restore only a specic le or folder.
• File self-healing: Btrfs le system is able to auto-detect corrupted les with
mirrored metadata, and recover broken data using the supported RAID
volumes, which include RAID 1, 5, 6, and 10.
Virtualization Ready
RS18017xs+ provides seamless storage solutions for virtualization environments,
including VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and OpenStack. With VMware vSphere 6 and
VAAI integration certied, RS18017xs+ helps ooad specic storage operations
and optimizes computation power for unparalleled performance and eciency in
VMware environments. Windows Ooaded Data Transfer (ODX) and Synology
Advanced LUN support greatly improve the eciency of massive data transfer and
migration. With OpenStack support, RS18017xs+ can be used as a block-based
storage component for servers complying with the Cinder API.

System reliability is of paramount importance to businesses which depend upon
their commercial servers every day. RS18017xs+ responds to these concerns with
wide-ranging availability and redundancy features:
• Synology High Availability ensures a seamless transition between clustered
servers in the event of server failure with minimal impact on applications.
• Redundant power supplies, system fans and network ports with failover
support ensure maximum continuous service uptime.
• High-reliability system design, including fan-less CPU heatsink and passive
cooling technology, prevents single points of failure.
• DDR4 ECC RDIMM reduces power consumption and has error detection and
correction capabilities during data transmission.
Future-proof Networking
Equipped with two 10GbE and
four 1GbE ports, RS18017xs+ can
accommodate two additional PCIe
network interface cards for exible
