High Performance, High Data Availability
With the Link Aggregation enabled, Synology DS1511+ delivers an average
165.91 MB/sec writing speed under RAID 5 conguration in a Windows
environment, and 197.8 MB/sec reading. The 2 LAN with failover support
and hot-swappable drives will ensure continual service uptime should the
drives need replacement or the unexpected LAN failure. Businesses need a
strong foundation to face mission-critical tasks so the Synology DS1511+
delivers high-performance with high data availability ensuring access when
it’s needed.
Fit to Business Environment
Windows ADS integration allows the Synology DS1511+ to quickly and
easily t in an existing business network environment with no need to
recreate users’ accounts on the Synology DS1511+. The User Home feature
minimizes the administrator’s eort in creating a private shared folder for a
large amount of users.
Windows ACL support on DS1511+ provides much ner-grained access
control and ecient privilege settings, allowing IT stas to set up privileges
to les and folders on DS1511+ 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 oers IT sta peace of mind, no worries about any loopholes.
iSCSI and Virtualization Ready
With the iSCSI support in DSM 3.0, the Synology DS1511+ provides a
seamless storage solution for virtualization servers, such as VMware,
Hyper-V, and Citrix. It is the ideal alternative to SAN solution for businesses.
Aordable and cost-eective, iSCSI allows SMB users to consolidate storage
into data center storage arrays while providing hosts with the illusion of
locally-attached disks.
Robust & Aordable Scalability Up to 45 TB
When the storage capacity of the Synology DS1511+ is nearing its limits,
it can easily be expanded by the Synology DX510
3
. The Synology DX510
securely connects to the Synology DS1511+ via an eSATA cable of specially-
designed connectors on both ends to ensure maximum throughput. The
Synology DX510 can directly expand the existing storage on the Synology
DS1511+ to a maximum 45 TB capacity.
Full-featured Business Applications
The Synology DS1511+ runs on the renowned operating system, Synology
DSM 3.0, oering comprehensive applications and features designed
specically for SMBs. Comprehensive network protocol support assures
seamless le sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.
Internet le access is simplied by the encrypted FTP server and the web-
based le explorer, Synology File Station. HTTPS, rewall, and IP auto-block
support ensure le sharing over the Internet is protected at a high security
level.
A wealth of additional features allows the Synology DS1511+ to replace
several pieces of network hardware. Synology Web Station with support
for PHP/MySQL content allows for the hosting of up to 30 websites on a
single Synology DS1511+. Synology Surveillance Station oers a centralized
interface to safeguard the oce environments by deploying IP cameras
throughout the network. The Mail Station add-on turns a Synology
DS1511+ into a mail server with only few steps of installation and the USB
printer sharing capability minimizes businesses’ printing cost by sharing
printing resources throughout the oce.
Energy Ecient Design
Synology DiskStations are designed and developed with energy
eciency in mind. Compared with the average PC counterparts, Synology
DiskStations consume a relatively low amount of power and have the hard
drives hibernate when not in use.
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.
