Redmond, Washington—July 16, 2010— Synology® America Corp. today officially launched the RackStation RS810+ and DiskStation DS411+, 4-bay NAS servers with rich, business-oriented features, appealing to SMBs that demand flexibility and great performing network attached storage solutions.

Businesses need a strong foundation to face mission-critical tasks, and can rely on the Synology RS810+ and DS411+ to deliver high-performance. Tested in a RAID 5 configuration in a Windows® environment, the Synology RS810+ and DS411+ deliver an average of 112MB/sec reading speed while RS810+ writes at 107MB/sec and DS411+ writes at 106MB/sec. The web server responsiveness rates are remarkable; the Synology RS810+ and DS410+ take less than 32 seconds to handle 1,000 simultaneous requests.

For forward-thinking and continuously expanding SMBs, the Synology RS810+ offers scalable storage up to 16 TB with the RX410, and is expandable to up to 3 GB RAM. The Synology RS810+ was certified to be VMware® ready, delivering a reliable storage solution for virtualization deployment. The hard drives are hot-swappable to ensure continuous service uptime when a drive needs replacement. The modular design allows for rapid in situ replacement of the motherboard. For businesses that require uninterrupted data sharing and protection, the Synology RS810RP+ comes with a redundant power supply, which optimizes data availability and safety.

The Synology RS810+ operates at 68 watts while DS411+ consumes at 60.5 watts. With energy conservation features such as Wake on LAN/WAN, scheduled power on/off, and hard drive hibernation, users are not only able to reduce monthly bills, but also reduce their carbon footprint.

"The Synology RS810+ and DS411+ run on the award-winning operating system, Synology DiskStation Manager 2.3 (DSM 2.3), and are specifically designed for businesses that want an affordable alternative to various network devices or even costly PC servers," said Rosiel Lee, product manager of Synology Inc. The Synology RS810+ and DS411+ will host up to 30 websites with Web Station, become affordable NVR solutions, supporting up to 20 IP cameras with Surveillance Station, and act as mail servers with Mail Station.

May I just say a few words following last week´s announcement on the just released RS810+ model. All the great people @ Synology should know that I take great pride on being a RS409+RX4 combo owner.

Last year, I asked for WOL support on the RS series (here on the forum) and Synology listened. Although my combo is nowhere near full capacity, I´m really looking forward to purchase this new unit. I have no doubt this will be yet another success story for the Synology family of products.

I wonder, will the new RS810+ model still be compatible with the RX4 extension unit of the RS409 model?

Thank you.

Greetings fgs,

The RS810+ model will only be compatible with the new RX410 expansion unit. For more details on the RX410 expansion unit look here. -http://www.synology.com/us/products/RX410/spec.php

Let me know if you have any further questions.

I have an RS810RP+ and the RX410, my concern is that the RX410 doesn't have a redundant power supply like the RS810RP+. Is there going to be a RX410RP+ version coming out?

What happens in my current setup where I have a single RAID 10 array across all 8 drives if the RX410 unit fails (e.g. external loss of power)? I hesitate to put anything in our production environment without that redundancy to sustain a power fault.

Greetings ghassler,

We are looking into the possibility of a expansion unit that supports redundant power supply. Please note that redundant power supplies are designed to maintain system availability during power supply failure. If your building experiences a main power failure - then both power supplies will be disabled on the RS810RP+ until main power is restored.
