Maximize service availability while minimizing downtimeSynology SA3200D has a dual controller architecture to ensure that operations and key business functions are not seriously impacted when emergencies occur or critical systems fail due to unplanned operations. The hardware redundancy mechanism uses controllers, power supplies, and fans to avoid single points of failure. With the intuitive and feature-rich operating system DiskStation Manager (DSM), the SA3200D offers comprehensive protection for network, file services and applications. Designed with high availability and scalabilitySynology SA3200D is a cost-effective yet highly available data management solution for companies that offers an attractive price/performance ratio of 0.05 USD per Gigabyte2. Under the 2HE enclosure, dual-controller modules are housed in an active passive architecture, each connected to the ultra-fast NTB (non-transparent bridge) at low latency. The continuous provision of services is also ensured by theHardware redundancy mechanism, which avoids single points of failure with modularized power supplies and fans.With SA3200D, you can start with a small configuration and expand your system in the future. It supports up to 12 standard 3.5/2.5 SAS hard drive bays, and capacity can be extended up to 576 TB by using two RXD1219sas expansion units with minimal performance limitation3. Because the shared storage design does not require data replication, is compared to two devicesSynology High Availability saves valuable rack storage space and network bandwidth.Real-time protection with automatic failoverWith an active-passive design of dual-controller modules and the integrated Synology High Availability (SHA) service, the SA3200D is well equipped to provide real-time system-level protection to maximize service availability. It actively monitors network status and critical file services from CIFS, iSCSI, AFP, FTP, NFS, and Synology Directory Server. Once a controller module or service is unavailable, the system automatically takes over within one minute to minimize system disruptions and ensure continuous service delivery. Easy to deploy and manageSA3200D is designed to enable IT administrators to easily implement and manage a highly available data management infrastructure. The system provides simple, wizard-based GUI setup processes that enable you to build a highly available service environment in minutes. Service status monitoring is simple and intuitive.With the DiskStation Manager (DSM), an intuitive, user-friendly and web-based operating system on all Synology hardware platforms, the SA3200D provides a uniform user experience for IT administrators, without having to adapt to different user interfaces and make complex configuration settings. With a complete suite of supported software applications in the packaging center, you can download and install a variety of packages, including backup, data protection, and virtualization. Designed to meet your SAN storage needsSynology SA3200D offers a fully certified virtualization solution with VMware® vSphereâ¢, Microsoft® Hyper-V®, Citrix® XenServer⢠and OpenStack Cinder. It supports iSCSI and NFS protocols, and works with VMware VAAI and Microsoft ODX to help IT administrators efficiently implement and simplify storage operations in a variety of virtualization environments. It administrators can effectively manage virtualized workloads using integrated DSM capabilities and additional plug-ins for VMware and Windows environments. Features such as Fast cloning, NFS v4.1, and thin provisioning provide greater flexibility to adapt to management requirements.Your virtualized workload can be further protected without additional license fees with the help of a complete suite of data protection applications, including Synology Snapshot Replication, Hyper Backup and Active Backup for Business, in order to meet the most diverse protection scenarios.Flexible virtualization of workloads in a protected environmentSynology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is an intuitive hypervisor software application that allows you to easily set up virtual machines and run different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Virtual DSM. By integrating compute and storage nodes into a single system, support for a single vendor can be realized to reduce management costs.With VMM, each virtual machine can be fully protected with a variety of disaster recovery features, including instant snapshots, replication, cloning, and recovery, to ensure protection of your virtual machines at no additional cost.This text is machine translated.
