Superior Performance
With a brand-new quad core CPU, expandable RAM module up to
6GB, and four Gigabit LAN ports supporting link aggregation and
failover, Synology RackStation RS815+/RS815RP+ delivers up to an
average 389.03 MB/s reading and 361.33 MB/s writing speed under
RAID 5 conguration in a Windows® environment.1 Powered by its AES-
NI hardware encryption engine, RS815+/RS815RP+ also delivers fast
encrypted data transmission at over 388.66 MB/s reading and 158.9
MB/s writing, becoming Synology’s most powerful 1U rackmount NAS
server ever-built.
Virtualization Certied
RS815+/RS815RP+ provides seamless storage solutions for virtualization
environments, including VMware®, Citrix®, and Hyper-V®. Being VMware
vSphere 5® and VAAI® integration certied, RS815+/RS815RP+ helps
ofoad specic storage operations and optimizes computation power
for unparalleled performance and efciency in VMware environments.
As the centralized storage of a virtual environment, RS815+/RS815RP+
enables virtual machine migration, allowing movement from server
to server whilst eliminating service downtime and disruption to user.
Windows® Ofoaded Data Transfer (ODX) and Synology Advanced LUN
support extremely improves the efciency on massive data transfer and
migration.
Robust & Affordable Scalability Up to 48TB
With an optional Synology expansion unit RX415, storage volume
expansion for Synology RS815+/RS815RP+ is fast and easy. RX415
securely connects to a RS815+/RS815RP+ via an eSATA cable with
specially-designed locking connectors and expands the existing
storage on Synology RS815+/RS815RP+ up to a maximum raw capacity
of 48TB.

Figure 1) Reliability, Availability &
Disaster Recovery
Synology High Availability ensures
seamless transition between clustered
servers in the event of server failure
with minimal impact to businesses.
Fit to Business Environment
Windows ADS integration allows the Synology RS815+/RS815RP+ to
quickly and easily t in an existing business network environment
with no need to recreate users’ accounts on the Synology RS815+/
RS815RP+. The User Home feature minimizes the administrator’s effort in
creating a private shared folder for a large amount of users.
Windows ACL support on RS815+/RS815RP+ provides much nergrained access control and efcient privilege settings, allowing IT staffs
to set up privileges to les and folders on RS815+/RS815RP+ through
their familiar Windows user interface. The privileges set on Windows
ACL will be applied to all access entries, including AFP, FTP, File Station,
NFS and WebDAV. The secure privilege offers IT staff peace of mind,
no worries about any loopholes.
Resilient and Reliable
In addition to its superior performance, RS815+/RS815RP+ is built for
reliability. Four Gigabit LAN ports provide redundancy in the event of
unexpected hardware failure while hot swappable drives also help to
minimize system downtime during drive replacement.
Uninterrupted availability is a critical goal for all businesses; however,
many businesses worldwide still remain unprepared for disaster. High
Availability Manager can ensure a seamless transition between
clustered servers in the event of server failure with minimal impact to
applications, thus decreasing the risk of unexpected interruptions and
costly downtime.
Figure 2) Superior Performance
Multiple LAN ports with link
aggregation support allows RS815+/
RS815RP+ to deliver superior
performance.
Easy Backup Solutions
To protect your critical business data, RS815+/RS815RP+ can become
a centralized backup target for consolidating fragmented and
unstructured information across your network through a range of
options. Advanced backup privilege management makes network
backup tasks safer and efcient. Cloud Station with selective sync
and ACL control provides real-time data backup and synchronization
among multiple computers and mobile devices. Complete backup
solutions including Scheduled LUN Snapshot, LUN clone and Backup &
Replication minimize the impact of disasters.
Energy Efcient Design
Synology RS815+/RS815RP+ is designed and developed with energy
efciency in mind. Compared with the average storage server
counterparts, RS815+/RS815RP+ consume a relatively low amount of
power. The support of Wake on LAN/WAN and scheduled power on
and off can further reduce power consumption and operation cost.
HDD hibernation can be congured to take effect automatically when
the system has been inactive for a specied period of time. This not
only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard drives.
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.
