Next-generation file system
Btrfs prevents data corruption and reduces maintenance overheads with advanced storage technologies and optimized snapshots.
Customize to your business
The RS4021xs+ includes two PCIe slots for performance, networking, and storage upgrades enabling it to adapt to any business environment.
- Double bandwidth
Upgrade network bandwidth in minutes by 2x or more with Synology’s range of 10GbE NICs. - SSD cache
Boost read/write IOPS by up to 16 times by enabling SSD cache with our Synology M.2 NVMe adapter cards and SNV3500 SSDs or by installing one or more 2.5” SAT5200 SSDs. - Storage expansion
Quickly and easily scale up to 40 drives with two RX1217(RP) expansion units.
Keep disaster at bay
Hyper Backup
A comprehensive backup and recovery solution for added data protection. Create backup destinations locally, on another Synology device, rsync servers, or cloud-based destinations, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, S3-compatible destinations, and Synology C2 Storage, a dedicated backup destination for Synology devices. Deduplication, integrity checks, and incremental transfer technology reduce bandwidth and storage use.
Snapshot Replication
Easily schedule flexible point-in-time backups of shared folders and 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.
Backup 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, multiversioning, and optimizations to reduce bandwidth and storage used.
Fully certified storage virtualization solutions
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.
Complete surveillance solution
Synology Surveillance Station transforms the RS4021xs+ into a feature-packed Network Video Recorder solution. Support for up to 90 IP cameras5 and video analytics such as motion detection, no idle zone, foreign object detection, and anomaly detection cater to the most common surveillance scenarios.
