Synology has announced its newest 12-bay NAS units, the Synology DiskStation DS3622xs+ and DS2422+, as well as the DX1222 companion expansion unit.

"The DS3622xs+ and DS2422+ serve a very diverse market of businesses and creatives who need ample amounts of secure and fast storage, without deploying a rackmount server and the associated costs," said Peggy Weng, Product Manager for Synology. "They stretch what is possible in a tower form factor to provide an excellent solution for all types of power uses."

Expandable to 24 bays, the DS2422+ is perfect for serving and protecting large data sets in multi-user environments. A new processor gives it an impressive edge over its predecessor. Dependable 2,200/1,300 MB/s sequential read/write speeds, plenty of storage options, and cost-effective deployment make it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized businesses looking to manage and back up their data assets more productively.

A step up in capabilities, the DS3622xs+ boasts processing and ample built-in connectivity to support heavy duty applications, including as networked surveillance or backup server, or storage for virtual machine storage and direct video editing. The high-performance unit delivers over 260,000 4K random read IOPS and 4,700/2,400 MB/s sequential read/write speeds, making it a true storage powerhouse.

"The impressive storage performance of the DS3622xs+ is ideal for businesses that need heavy-duty storage for I/O-intensive and multi-user workloads," said Michael Wang, Product Manager at Synology. "Its robust built-in data protection tools and intuitive storage management help users get started with reliably managing their data."

Equipped with dual 10GbE RJ-45 ports and three Gigabit ports, the DS3622xs+ delivers fast networking and out-of-band management (OOB) management right out of the box while supporting integration with Fibre Channel SAN. The DS2422+ integrates easily with existing IT infrastructure thanks to four Gigabit RJ-45 ports. Both units allow for expansion with 10/25GbE network interface cards. NVMe SSD cache can added through M.2 NVMe SSD adapter cards to boost random I/O performance for hot data. Combination cards allow 10GbE connectivity and SSD cache to be added through a single PCIe 3.0 slot.

The DS3622xs+ and DS2422+ are both built for DSM 7.0, the latest version of Synology's DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, with more powerful data and storage management tools.  Both the DS3622xs+ and DS2422+ are designed to optimally work with Synology enterprise drives. The HAT5300 3.5" SATA HDD and SAT5200 2.5" SATA SSD are engineered specially to provide class-leading performance and DSM integration for enhanced monitoring and maintenance capabilities.

Storage capacity can easily be doubled or tripled by connecting up to two 12-bay DX1222 expansion units. Managing storage expansion is made simple with Synology DSM, which minimises service disruptions during expansion.
