High reliability with redundancy mechanisms

The four LAN ports with failover support and hot-swappable drives ensure continual service uptime should the drives need replacement or unexpected LAN failure occurs. In addition, DS2015xs’ CPU benefits from a passive cooling design to avoid dependency upon a dedicated processor cooling fan, thus mitigating any critical point of failure. As to its hard drive fans, when the system detects a failure, the built-in redundancy mechanism will spin up the functional fan to properly ventilate the system.

Robust scalability up to 200TB

DS2015xs easily scales up to 20 drives and can be expanded to a maximum 200TB raw capacity² by using the DX1215 expansion unit. It securely connects to the Synology DX1215³ with specially-designed expansion cable to ensure maximum throughput.

With the mobile app DS cloud, any change made to a file is automatically synced to your smartphones and tablets. For distributed enterprises, Synology’s 2-way sync between different DiskStations ensures employees at different locations share the same information in real-time. IT administrators can handpick individual folders that they want to sync to different devices, manually or automatically based on file format and size. Folders synced by Cloud Station can be encrypted on DSM — no one will be able to access its content without your private key. Learn more

Ensuring business continuity & reliability
