United Kingdom— 2nd July 2015—Synology® Inc. today announced the release of RS18016xs+ and its expansion unit RX1216sas, with vast expansion capacities, point-in-time data backup for enterprises, and unparalleled performance throughput.

“Belonging to the next generation of NAS servers, RS18016xs+ can be extended beyond 1PB of storage capacity while simplifying any backup strategy, making it the perfect choice for businesses in need of a cost-efficient, scalable, and modern storage solution” declared Michael Wang, Product Manager at Synology Inc.

With a dedicated encryption engine, RS18016xs+ boasts over 3,000 MB/s reading on encrypted shared folders, ensuring data security without any major performance drop.

  • Point-in-time data recovery: RS18016xs+ brings snapshot technology, allowing businesses to automatically capture point-in-time copies of data as frequently as every 5 minutes without occupying system resources, as well as customise the retention policy to save up to 256 recovery points on an hourly, daily or weekly basis.

  • High uptime: With support for Synology High Availability, as well as numerous redundant hardware components including redundant data paths, power supplies, system fans, and four network ports with failover support, RS18016xs+ maximise service uptime.
