RS10613xs+ is designed to grow with
businesses and provides the ability to seamlessly expand a single volume up to
108TB on the y.
When the storage capacity of RS10613xs+ nears it limit, expansion is easily
accomplished with Synology RX1213sas. RS10613xs+ supports up to 106 SATA,
SAS, or SSD drives for exible capacity and balanced performance to meet the
needs of varying applications and processes.
Management of RS10613xs+’s capacious storage space is simple and exible.
Unlike standard RAID arrangements, on RS10613xs+ volumes can be created
on grouped RAID array structures, providing higher reliability by distributing risk
of disk failure and making management of storage across all hard drives more
exible and efcient. When the need for more space arises, volumes can be
expanded without service disruption.
Unied Storage System
By integrating le-level (NAS) and block-level (SAN) storage into one unied
storage system, RS10613xs+ enables businesses to cost-effectively manage multi-
protocol data and reduce total cost of ownership:
● Comprehensive network protocol support (CIFS/SMB, AFP and NFS) ensures
seamless le sharing across Windows
®
, Mac
®
, and Linux
®
platforms.
● Affordable and cost-effective iSCSI allows large scale business to consolidate
storage into data center storage arrays.
● Thin provisioning, available for le-level iSCSI LUN, maximizes storage utilization
by enabling administrators to oversubscribe provision and grow storage
space as needed.
Virtualization-Ready

RS10613xs+ helps ofoad specic storage operations and
optimizes computation power for unparalleled performance and efciency
in VMware environments. As the centralized storage of a virtual environment,
RS10613xs+ enables virtual machine migration, allowing movement from server
to server whilst eliminating service downtime and disruption to user.
Comprehensive Business Applications
Powered by the innovative Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), RS10613xs+
comes fully-equipped with applications and features designed specically for
large-scale business:
● Easy integration with existing business network environments through Windows
AD and LDAP directory services without recreating user accounts.
● Windows ACL support provides ne-grained access control and efcient
privilege settings, allowing RS10613xs+ to t seamlessly into current
infrastructure.
● Built-in backup applications protect information assets by regularly backing
up les and iSCSI LUNs locally and remotely.
● Continuous data protection with snapshots of shared folders allows
restoration of previous versions when the need arises.
● Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) on shared folders with hardware
acceleration ensures security without compromising access performance.
