Compute
Intel® Xeon® D-1531 6-core 2.2 GHz
Throughput
4,718 MB/s seq. read 189,098 4K random read IOPS1
Expandability
Dual PCIe slots for 10GbE or NVMe cache
Scalability
Up to 36 drive bays with RX1217RP/RX1217
Reliability first
Service continuity is at the core of the RS3621RPxs design.
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. Learn more
Next-generation file system
Btrfs prevents data corruption and reduces maintenance overheads with advanced storage technologies and optimized snapshots. Learn more
License-free backup solutions
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. Deduplication4, integrity checks, and incremental transfer technology reduce bandwidth and storage used. Learn more
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. Learn more
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. Learn more
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. Learn more
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 cameras5 and video analytics such as motion detection, no idle zone, foreign object detection, and anomaly detection cater to the most common surveillance scenarios. Learn more
Secure and private
AES-256 encryption keeps locally-stored footage secure.
Access from anywhere, anytime
Access recordings and live streams whenever 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.
Works best with Synology drives
Engineered to handle intensive 24/7 workloads, Synology drives consistently deliver top-grade performance.
Powered by Synology DiskStation Manager
The RS3621RPxs runs Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), the web-based operating system with applications and services designed specifically for businesses.
Central Management System
Conveniently manage your fleet of Synology NAS from a centralized console.
Synology Drive
