Virtualization Certified
DS2415+ provides seamless storage solutions for virtualization environments, including VMware®, Citrix®, and Hyper-V®. Being VMware vSphere® 5 and VAAI® integration certified, DS2415+ helps offload specific storage operations and optimizes computation power for unparalleled performance and efficiency in VMware environments. As the centralized storage of a virtual environment, DS2415+ enables virtual machine migration, allowing movement from server to server whilst eliminating service downtime and disruption to user. Windows® Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) and Synology Advanced LUN support extremely improves the efficiency on massive data transfer and migration.
Feature-Rich Business Applications
Put your data to work with Synology’s DS2415+. With Windows® ACL and LDAP support, DS2415+ fits easily into any existing workgroup environment, providing detailed access control and efficient privilege settings. SMB applications including printer sharing, VPN Server, Mail Server, web server, anti-virus, and network video surveillance, allow a single Synology DS2415+ to replace several traditional computing devices and help to maximumimize your productivity while keeping cost and effort to a minimum.
Resilient and Reliable
In addition to its superior performance, DS2415+ 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.
Unparalleled Flexibility
As your data storage needs grow, Synology’s DS2415+ can grow with you. DS2415+ can be connected to dedicated expansion units for additional storage on the fly, growing capacity with minimal effort. When paired with Synology DX1215 expansion units2 through specially designed expansion cable, raw capacity can be as high as 144TB.
Easy Backup Solutions
To protect your critical business data, DS2415+ 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 efficient. 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.
