Robust scalability up to 192TB
DS3612xs provides the ability to seamlessly expand a single volume up to 108TB on the fly, with total storage capacity of 192TB2. DS3612xs can easily be expanded with Synology DX12113 which is connected to DS3612xs via an Infiniband cable that carries 12 Gb/s SATA signal to ensure maximum throughput.
Dual 10 Gb E port support
In addition to the default four Gigabit ports, DS3612xs supports dual 10 Gb E ports with one add-on PCI Express Gen 2 x 8 Network Interface Card, helping to maximize system bandwidth.
Reliable redundancy mechanisms
DS3612xs is designed with redundancy mechanisms to ensure business continuity. Boasting four built-in LAN ports with failover combined with hot-swappable drives, DS3612xs ensures continual service uptime during drive replacement or unexpected LAN failure. Fan-less CPU heat-sink & passive cooling technologies prevent a single point of failure, as the built-in redundancy mechanism will spin up the functional fan (s) to properly ventilate the system.
Expandable ECC RAM module
The ECC RAM module on DS3612xs will detect & correct errors that occur during data transmission. Supporting up to 8GB ECC RAM, DS3612xs provides secure data protection & performance to meet the needs of large scale businesses, while ensuring a strong foundation to face mission-critical tasks.
Award winning OS
- Disk Station Manager
Synology Disk Station Manager (DSM) is a sleek, browser-based operating system running on every Disk Station & Rack Station, which makes managing your Synology NAS a breeze. Featuring an intuitive user interface, DSM makes accessing & sharing your data smarter & simpler. Synology's Package Center lets you download & install useful add-on packages designed specifically for individual or business needs, meaning you can enjoy more entertainment in your life or better productivity at work
Fit into business environments easily
With the support of Windows AD, LDAP, & Domain Trust, DS3612xs enables seamless account integration. The User Home feature can automatically create a "home" folder for every user account to minimize the administrator's effort in repeatedly creating "home" folders for all accounts. Windows ACL support on DS3612xs allows IT administrators to fine tune access controls & set up privileges to files & folders on DS3612xs through the familiar Windows user interface. With compatibility for major protocols, DS3612xs can eliminate server configuration overhead & enhance IT administrators efficiency.
Seamless storage solution for virtualization environments
DS3612xs provides seamless storage solutions for virtualization environments, including VMware, Citrix, & Microsoft Hyper-V. With VMware v Sphere 5 & VAAI integration, DS3612xs helps offload specific storage operations & optimizes computation power in VMware environments. Windows ODX support speeds up data manipulation as the data transfer is offloaded. i SCSI also lets SMB users consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing hosts with the illusion of locally-attached disks.
Unified storage system
DS3612xs enables businesses to cost-effectively manage multi-protocol data by integrating file-level (NAS) & block-level (SAN) storage into one unified storage system. Files can be shared across Windows, Mac, & Linux platforms seamlessly with comprehensive network protocol support (CIFS/SMB, AFP, & NFS). DS3612xs provides a cost-effective i SCSI solution, allowing large scale businesses to consolidate storage into data center storage arrays. With thin provisioning available for file-level i SCSI LUN, you can maximize storage utilization by oversubscribing provisions & grow storage space as needed.
Protection by LUN backup, snapshot, & clone
DS3612xs enhances the ease of moving & copying data in a virtualized environment with the features
- LUN Backup, LUN Snapshot, & LUN Clone. DS3612xs offers i SCSI LUN backup at storage level without extra charge. Synology LUN Clone & LUN Snapshot only take up 1/1000 of the original size which highly optimizes storage usage. In addition, Synology's LUN Snapshot lets you create up 256 snapshots per LUN using point-in-time technology without having any impact on system performance. With better support to servers under VMware v Sphere or Windows environment, IT managers can expect guaranteed VM status & data consistency through application-consistent snapshots.
Synology CMS (Central Management System)
For enterprises with more than one Synology NAS server, CMS offers the flexibility & convenience for IT administrators to manage all of them from a single point of entry. Through a simple interface, you can obtain a clear overview on resource consumption & logs, helping you identify any issue right away. With group policies, CMS can do much more for your daily tasks. Once a NAS joins a group, it will automatically adopt its rules & behave as intended, without extra configuration.
Increase business productivity with cloud solutions
With comprehensive cloud solutions, DS3612xs lets you create your own cloud easily. Cloud Station is the perfect package to sync files across multiple devices with the benefit of better privacy for important data. Files can be edited in offline mode & later synced to Cloud Station, which retains up to 32 versions to avoid file overwriting. With mobile app DS cloud, any change made to a file is automatically synced to your smartphones & tablets. For distributed enterprise, Synology's 2-way sync between different Disk Stations ensures employees at different locations share the same information in real-time. IT administrators can customize synchronization rules, such as avoiding syncing large files to optimize bandwidth usage.
Ensuring business continuity & reliability
Uninterrupted availability is a critical goal for all businesses. DS3612xs offers Synology High Availability (SHA) technology which combines an active & passive server into one cluster, the former always mirrored to the latter. Shared Folder Sync can replicate data in real-time to another Synology NAS at a remote location, giving your business the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for prompt disaster recovery. With multiple LAN ports, DS3612xs also ensures redundancy in the event of unexpected network failure.
Secure your data
DS3612xs provides share-level AES 256-bit encryption to block off unauthorized access attempts. Once you create & encrypt a shared folder, people without the encryption key will not be able to use the encrypted data even if they remove the hard drives from your DS3612xs & mount it on their device. 2-Step verification gives an extra layer of protection as 6-digit one-time code sending to your mobile device is required for login. In addition, DS3612xs provides other security add-ons, such as IP block & allow list, Antivirus packages, firewall, & Do S attack prevention. These enhancements ensures a secure DSM environment.
