Synology RS217 Rackstation
Overview
Delivering outstanding results for small and growing
businesses
Designed for growing businesses, RS217 is a compact NAS providing stunning
performance and a significant improvement in encrypted data processing. RS217
comes with comprehensive business applications, enhancing collaboration and
productivity.
Improved performance
Powered by a 1.33 GHz dual-core processor, RS217 delivers impressive
performance with encrypted reading and writing speeds of 113 MB/s and 67 MB/s
with link aggregation enabled, reaching a 214% improvement in overall encrypted
data processing when compared with its predecessor. RS217 also delivers
outstanding non-encrypted performance exceeding 210 MB/s in reading and 127 MB/s
in writing.
Less than 12 inches in depth
RS217 fits perfectly into two-post racks and wall mount racks without
additional rail kits. It is also resilient enough to withstand operating
temperature of up to 50°C/122°F, offering high reliability under challenging
conditions. The compact design offers an affordable solution for both industrial
standard environments and smaller server rooms with limited space.
Dual LAN ensures continual network service
RS217 comes with dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports with failover support to
ensure continual network service in case of LAN failure. The hot-swappable
design facilitates easy and risk-free hard drive replacement. The hard drive
tray lock further secures your hard drives from unauthorized or accidental
withdrawal.
Convenient connectivity
RS217 enables faster and more efficient external data transfers. To ensure
scalability, RS217 provides an eSATA and two USB 3.0 ports in the back, along
with one USB 2.0 port on the front panel for quick access.
Award winning OS - DiskStation Manager
Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) is a sleek, browser-based operating system
running on every DiskStation and RackStation, which makes managing your Synology
NAS a breeze. Featuring an intuitive user interface, DSM makes accessing and
sharing your data smarter and simpler. Synology's Package Center lets you
download and 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.
Modern collaboration tools
RS217 comes with a comprehensive set of office applications, allowing you to
maximize work productivity and improve team dynamics. Whether you are keeping
track of household expenses or updating your project status, with SpreadSheet
you can work together with other people on the same document in real-time as if
you were sitting next to each other – even when you are miles apart. In
addition, Note Station lets you and your team keep detailed notes and accomplish
more tasks with features such as charts, presentation view, mail clipper, and
much more.
The most compatible sharing
Enjoy seamless files sharing across Windows®, Mac®, and Linux® platforms as
RS217 offers comprehensive network protocol support including FTP, SMB2, AFP,
NFS and WebDAV. With Windows AD and LDAP integration, RS217 can fit effortlessly
into any existing network environment - there is no need for IT administrators
to maintain two sets of credentials. You also won't worry about missing files
with the Recycle Bin feature which is supported on AFP, CIFS, File Station, and
WebDAV. All files deleted in a shared folder will be automatically moved into
the Recycle Bin.
Fit into business environments easily
With the support of Windows AD, LDAP, and Domain Trust, RS217 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
RS217 allows IT administrators to fine tune access controls and set up
privileges to files and folders on RS217 through the familiar Windows user
interface. With compatibility for major protocols, RS217 can eliminate server
configuration overhead and enhance IT administrators’ efficiency.
Your files anywhere with cloud service
RS217 brings you comprehensive cloud service. Cloud Station lets you sync
files among DiskStations and multiple devices, including Windows PC, Mac, Linux,
iOS, Android, as well as Windows mobile devices, whereas 2-way sync allows file
synchronization among different DiskStations. With Cloud Sync, you can even sync
your DiskStation with Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive,
Dropbox, Box, Baidu Cloud, and many more — establish your hybrid cloud to enjoy
more storage flexibility and prevent data loss. Learn more
Backup data in multiple ways
Synology RS217 can serve as a centralized backup target. Whether you are a
Windows or Mac user, you can back up everything on your computer directly to
Synology NAS using Cloud Station Backup. Whenever you modify a file, the changes
are backed up to RS217 automatically. Mac users also enjoy native Apple® Time
Machine support. You can also back up data from your RS217 to another
DiskStation, rsync servers, external drives, or even Amazon® S3, Glacier cloud
service, Microsoft Azure, SFR, and hicloud. Synology Hyper Backup allows you to
schedule backup tasks and restore the server to any particular point in time,
while minimizing storage consumption and processing time by saving only the
specific data block that has been changed between versions.
Connect your data quickly and easily
Synology aims to provide you the most convenient way to enjoy all services on
RS217. With Synology QuickConnect, you don't have to deal with difficult DDNS
setup. QuickConnect frees you from complicated router configuration and
port-forwarding, so your entertainment and work files can be accessed on any
computer, laptop, or mobile devices instantly without extra charge.
Get mobility with our apps
Synology develops versatile mobile apps — DS note, DS audio, DS video, DS
photo, DS cloud, DS file, DS get and DS cam — allowing you to access and manage
the contents of your RS217 with smartphones and tablets. QuickConnect brings an
easier network experience as it eliminates complicated router configuration or
port forwarding. With Synology mobile apps, your multimedia collection and work
files are always on the go.
