Synology RackStation RS3621RPxs 12-Bay NAS Enclosure

Engineered to deliver high throughput and robust data protection to help safeguard mission-critical info, the RackStation RS3621RPxs 12-Bay NAS Enclosure from Synology is a 12-bay, 2 RU storage solution with built-in 500W redundant power supplies, ECC memory, and the Btrfs file system that can handle the demanding workloads of modern business environments. This unit has 12 drive bays, each of which natively supports 3.5" SATA hard drives, as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. Should users need to expand the overall capacity of their RS3621RPxs, two optional RX1217/RX1217RP expansion units may be used to connect up to 24 additional drive bays, and each unit is connected using an integrated expansion port. The RS3621RPxs can deliver 4K random reads of up to 189,098 IOPS and sequential reads of up to 4718 MB/s.

The RackStation RS3621RPxs is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon D-1531 Six-Core processor, which will allow you to run multiple functions simultaneously. The built-in 8GB of DDR4 ECC RAM will allow quick access to frequently used files and programs and may also be upgraded to a total of 64GB by installing a 16GB module into each of the four DIMM slots. Also featured are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, which allow it to be connected to external peripherals. Network connectivity is achieved via the four Gigabit Ethernet ports with failover support, which help to provide redundancy in the case that a LAN connection malfunction occurs on one port. In addition, link aggregation, powered by four LAN ports, helps to increase connection speeds beyond the limits of a single network port or cable. If you re looking to expand this NAS, there are two PCIe Gen 3.0 x8/x8 slots that support 10GbE network interface cards and M.2 NVMe adapter cards for an SSD cache.

The RackStation RS3621RPxs runs on the DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, which helps simplify managing your NAS, as well as accessing and sharing data. A variety of RAID modes are supported, which help provide users with data redundancy, speed, or a combination of both. Supported RAID modes include RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, Basic, and Synology RAID F1. For those who do not require a RAID, JBOD is also available, allowing each drive bay to be individually utilized.

Synology has engineered the RackStation RS3621RPxs to be energy efficient. Not only does it offer four 80 x 80mm fans to help keep the system running cool, the server supports numerous scheduled power on / off cycles and hard-drive hibernation to further minimize power consumption and operation expenses. The RackStation RS3621RPxs operates on 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and includes an accessory pack and two AC power cords. Protection is provided by a limited 5-year hardware warranty.

General Features

Safeguard Your Business

The Synology RS3621RPxs is a powerful 12-bay storage server. Its six-core processor enables compute-intensive services while its redundant power, ECC memory, and Btrfs file system safeguard mission-critical data. Capable of delivering 189,098 4K random read IOPS and 4718 MB/s sequential read throughput, it is ideal for small businesses.

Reliability First

Service continuity is at the core of the RS3621RPxs.

Redundant Power
Dual PSUs provide protection against a PSU failure or accidental cord removal while hot-swappable fans can be replaced without powering down the system.

Near-Zero Downtime
Synology High Availability (SHA) pairs two identical units together, creating an active-passive cluster with minute-level failover.

Next-Generation File System
Btrfs prevents data corruption and reduces maintenance overheads with advanced storage technologies and optimized snapshots.

Customize to Suit

The two built-in PCIe slots allow users to customize the RS3621RPxs to satisfy unique performance, networking, and storage requirements.

10GbE Ready
Support for 10GbE NICs expands the throughput of the unit by up to five times with link aggregation.

SSD Cache
Boost read/write IOPS by up to 16 times by enabling SSD cache via Synology M.2 NVMe adapter cards and SNV3000 Series SSDs, or by installing one or more 2.5" SAT5200 SSDs.

On-Demand Drive Bays
Expand to 36 drive bays using two RX1217(RP) expansion units with minimal intervention.

Keep Disaster at Bay

Hyper Backup
A comprehensive backup and recovery solution for securing data stored on Synology servers. Backup data locally, to another Synology device, rsync server, or cloud-based storage such as Google Drive, Dropbox, S3-compatible destinations, and Synology C2. Deduplication, integrity checks, and incremental transfer technology reduce bandwidth and storage used.

Snapshot Replication
Easily schedule flexible point-in-time backups of shared folders and iSCSI LUNs with an RPO as low as 5 minutes and recovery in seconds. Set up replication and failover to other Synology storage systems for fast RTOs and minimal service disruption.

Back Up Your Entire IT Infrastructure

Active Backup Suite
Enables administrators to easily backup the entire IT infrastructure to their NAS, including Windows & Linux workstations and servers, file servers, VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace accounts. Backups benefit from deduplication, multi-versioning, and optimizations to reduce bandwidth and storage used.

Storage for Virtualization
Synology iSCSI storage supports mainstream virtualization solutions with an easy management interface to enhance usability. VMware vSphere 6.5 and VAAI integration helps offload storage operations. Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) speeds up data transfer. OpenStack Cinder support turns your Synology NAS into a block-based storage component. Additionally, Synology Storage Console enables even more simplified storage provisioning and management options in VMware and Windows environments.

Powerful Built-In Surveillance Functionality

Synology Surveillance Station transforms the RS3621RPxs into a feature-packed Network Video Recorder solution. Support for up to 75 IP cameras and video analytics such as motion detection, no idle zone, foreign object detection, and anomaly detection cater to the most common surveillance scenarios.

Secure and Private
256-bit AES encryption keeps locally-stored footage secure.

Access from Anywhere, Anytime
Access recordings and live streams wherever you want using a web browser, desktop client, or the DS cam mobile app.

Real-Time Alerts
Email, SMS, or push notifications alert you when incidents occur or predefined conditions are met.
