Entries were evaluated for innovation, value, performance, reliability, and ease of use. "With our first entry into the SME market, Synology is extremely proud to be a finalist in the Virtualization and Cloud Infrastructure category for the Best of VMworld," said Franklin Hua – the company's technical marketing manager. "The RC18015xs+ offers exceptional value for businesses that want virtual storage and enterprise features, but don't have SAN budgets. It's perfect for SAN backup, and storage for specialized departments like accounting, HR, and marketing groups. It's also great for companies that work with large video or surveillance files." With the DiskStation Manager operating system, SMEs get ease of management and advanced features. Groundbreaking Design offers Built-in High Availability and Affordable Virtual Storage The groundbreaking design requires two server controllers (for built-in high availability) and one storage expansion unit. If one server or controller goes offline, the second server or controller automatically kicks in to continue operations. Hardware redundancy is built-into the two server controllers, not the disks. So, the RC18015xs+ only needs one stack of drives for failover. Compared to other redundant NAS systems, this allows IT admin to reduce the number of disks (and their cost) by up to 50 percent. The RC18015xs+: An Ideal Virtual Storage Solution for SME The RC18015xs+ has:
Each RC18015xs+ controller costs $3,999.99, and the expansion is $3,499.99 – making the total solution less than $12,000, to start. The system runs on Synology's award-winning DiskStation Manager OS which makes it faster, easier, and more efficient to manage and protect data.
