Compact and agile, centralized on the business essentials with high efficiency
The 1U 4-bay rackmount NAS is only 12 inches deep, and can be deployed in a 2-post or wall-mount rack, ideal for businesses where space is at a premium. In the meanwhile, RS816 does not compromise any bit of its computing power, delivering excellent read and write performance with providing an impressive 142% increase in its encrypted writing performance compared to its predecessor.
Dual-core CPU with hardware encryption engine
Powered by an upgraded dual-core CPU with hardware encryption engine, RS816 delivers greatly advanced encryption performance in dual LAN bonding environments at over 148 MB/s reading, 81 MB/s writing, making sure every bit of your data is safe from prying eyes. Plus the built-in floating-point unit enables faster thumbnail creation when uploading a large amount of photos and videos, and the 1GB RAM significantly increases RS816’s multi-tasking capability, making RS816 the optimal rackmount server for demanding businesses.
Flexible scalability up to eight drives, providing great capacity to businesses
Designed to satisfy growing businesses, RS816 can be easily scaled up to eight drives with Synology’s RX415 expansion unit for an additional 32TB volume, merging into one big 64TB volume, so businesses can start with a lower upfront cost and scale up storage capacity as demands grow while reducing time on storage management.
Dual LAN with failover and Link Aggregation support
RS816 is equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports capable of applying Link Aggregation technology; while enjoying automatic bandwidth optimization for each connected device, the dual LAN ports also support failover, ensuring continual network service even when one connection is down. RS816’s hot-swappable design allows easy and risk-free hard drive replacement and maintenance, providing growing businesses with reliable redundancy mechanisms to keep operations running smoothly.
All-in-one server
With just one RS816, it's possible to handle a vast amount of tasks. RS816 helps your company gain a competitive edge by acting as your multi-function server. Directory Server provides LDAP service, while DNS and DHCP packages allow you to host a domain name server and automate network IP assignment at no extra cost. With Synology's Proxy Server, you can regulate content access and monitor who can access which website while saving bandwidth. You can host up to 30 websites with Web Station, safeguard the office environments with Surveillance Station, send and receive mails using your own email domain with MailPlus, share printing capability with Printer Server, make RS816 act as a VPN server to access company’s resources remotely, and more.
