Synology DiskStation DS712+ - User Manual

High Performance, High Data Availability
With the Link Aggregation enabled, Synology DS712+ delivers an average
105.59MB/sec writing speed under RAID 1 conguration in a Windows
environment, and 180.91MB/sec reading
1
. 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 DS712+
delivers high-performance with high data availability ensuring access when
it’s needed.
Flexible RAID Management
The Synology Hybrid RAID (SHR) automatically builds an optimal RAID
volume with data protection based on the hard drives installed, eliminating
the need to have hard drives of identical size, while still oering a manual
setup option for advanced users.
Multiple Volumes on RAID allows you to create more than one volume on
a RAID structure, providing a exible and ecient way to manage your
storage across all available hard drives. When the need arises to expand the
volumes, simply allocate more storage space on the UI, and DSM does the
rest for you without any service disruption.
iSCSI and Virtualization Ready
With the iSCSI support in DSM, the Synology DS712+ 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.
Small & Aordable Scalability Up to 21TB
When the storage capacity of the Synology DS712+ is nearing its capacity
limit, it can easily be expanded with the Synology DX510 expansion
enclosure. The Synology DX510 securely connects to the Synology DS712+
via an eSATA cable with specially-designed locking connectors. The
Synology DX510 expands the existing storage on the Synology DS712+ up
to a maximum 21TB capacity.
Full-featured Business Applications
The Synology DS712+ runs on the renowned operation system, Synology
DSM, oering applications and features designed specically for SMBs.
Comprehensive network protocol support assures seamless le sharing
across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Windows ADS and LDAP
integration allows the Synology DS712+ to quickly and easily t in an
existing business network environment with no need to recreate user
accounts.
Directory Server package can turn DS712+ into an LDAP-based directory
server within minutes. IT administrators can bind other DiskStations to the
directory server. With the same batch of directory user account or directory
groups, employees can access all the DiskStations within the service.
Windows ACL support on DS712+ provides much ner-grained access
control and ecient privilege settings, allowing IT stas to set up privileges
to les and folders on DS712+ 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.
Internet le access is simplied with the included encrypted FTP server
and the web-based le explorer, Synology File Station. HTTPS, the built-in
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 DS712+ 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 DS712+. Synology Surveillance Station oers a centralized
interface to safeguard the oce environments by deploying IP cameras
throughout the network. The built-in mail server turns a Synology DS712+
into a dedicated mail service provider 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, the Synology DS712+
consume relatively low amount of power at 27.5 watts only in operation.
The support of Wake on LAN/WAN and scheduled power on and o can
further reduce power consumption and operation cost. HDD hibernation or
Deep Sleep mode can be congured to take eect automatically when the
system has been inactive for a specied period of time. This not only saves
energy but also extends the lifespan of the hard disks.
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.
