Synology SA3200D features a dual controller
architecture to ensure operations and core
business functions are not severely impacted by
a disaster or unplanned incident that take critical
systems oine. The hardware redundancy
mechanism leverages controllers, power

Dual controller modules
High-Availability Design
The dual controller modules with a shared storage
space maximize service availability and help
IT administrators to easily deploy, scale up and
manage critical services.
Designed with High Availability and Scalability
Synology SA3200D is a cost-eective yet highly available data
management solution for enterprises, with a competitive priceperformance ratio of $0.05 per gigabyte2. Underneath the 2U chassis
are dual controller modules in an active-passive architecture, each
connected to the other by the reliable, high-speed Non-Transparent
Bridge (NTB) with low latency. Service continuity is also backed up by the
hardware redundancy mechanism of modularized power supplies and
fans to prevent a single point of failure.
With SA3200D, you can start small and grow in the future. It supports up
to 12 x 3.5"/2.5" SAS interface drive slots by default, and the capacity
can be further scaled up to 576 TB using two RXD1219sas4 expansion
units, with minimal performance impact3. Data replication is not needed
for the shared storage design, saving valuable rack space and network
bandwidth when compared with two devices using Synology High
Availability.
Real-Time Protection with Automatic Failover
With an active-passive design consisting of dual controller modules
and the built-in Synology High Availability (SHA) service, SA3200D is
built to provide a real-time, system-level protection to maximize service
availability. It actively monitors network status and critical le services
of CIFS, iSCSI, AFP, FTP, NFS, and Synology Directory Server. Once a
controller module or the service is unavailable, the system will fail over
automatically within a minute1 to minimize system interruption and
ensure service continuity.

Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM)
DSM, is a web-based operating system
designed to provide a intuitive data management
experience across different hardware platforms
with a user-friendly interface.
Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage
SA3200D is designed to help IT administrators easily deploy and manage
a highly available data management infrastructure. The system features
straightforward, wizard-based GUI setup processes that allow you to
build up a highly available service environment within minutes. Service
status monitoring is made easy and intuitive.
Powered by DiskStation Manager (DSM), an intuitive, user-friendly webbased operating system across Synology hardware platforms, SA3200D
provides IT administrators a unied user experience without the need
to adapt to dierent user interfaces and complex conguration settings.
With a full suite of software applications supported in the Package
Center, you can download and install a variety of packages including
backup, data protection, and virtualization.
Built for Your SAN Storage Needs
Synology SA3200D provides a fully certied virtualization solution
with VMware® vSphere™, Microsoft® Hyper-V®, Citrix® XenServer™,
and OpenStack Cinder. It supports both iSCSI and NFS protocols
and integrates with VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX, allowing IT
administrators to eectively deploy and facilitate storage operations
in various virtualization environments. IT administrators can eciently
manage virtualized workloads through built-in DSM features and addon plugins for VMware and Windows environments. Features including
fast clone, NFS v4.1, and thin provisioning delivers more exibility to
accommodate to administration needs.
With no additional license fees required, your virtualized workload can
be further protected by a complete suite of data protection applications
including Synology Snapshot Replication, Hyper Backup, and Active
Backup for Business to cover various protection scenarios.
