The Synology DS211+ is designed for business users who require a reliable 

storage solution and demand high-performance for file sharing. The 

Synology DS211+ delivers an average 108MB/sec reading and 55MB/sec 

writing speeds under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows environment.

The Synology DS211+ runs on the renowned operating system, Synology 

DiskStation Manager 3.0 (DSM 3.0), offering applications and features 

designed specifically for SMBs. Comprehensive network protocol support 

assures seamless file sharing across Windows, Mac®, and Linux® platforms. 

Windows ADS integration allows the Synology DS211+ to quickly and easily 

fit in an existing business network environment with no need to recreate 

user accounts. Windows ACL support provides much finer-grained access 

control and efficient privilege settings, allowing users to enjoy native 

Windows experience.

Internet file access is simplified with the included encrypted FTP server 

and the web-based file explorer, Synology File Station 3. HTTPS, the built-in 

firewall, and IP auto-block support ensure file sharing over the Internet is 

protected at a high security level.

A wealth of additional features allows the Synology DS211+ to replace 

several pieces of network hardware. Synology Web Station with support 

for PHP/MySQL content allows for the hosting of up to 30 websites on a 

single Synology DS211+. Synology Surveillance Station offers a centralized 

interface to safeguard the office environments by deploying IP cameras 

throughout the network. The Mail Station add-on turns a Synology DS211+ 

into a mail server with only few steps of installation and the USB printer 

sharing capability minimizes businesses’ printing cost by sharing printing 

resources throughout the office.

With the NFS protocol or iSCSI target support in DSM 3.0, the Synology 

DS211+ provides a seamless storage solution for with Windows, Linux, or 

virtualization servers. 

The Synology DS211+ offers a centralized backup target to consolidate 

fragmented and unstructured data across the network. Integrating easily 

into a current network structure and compatible with Windows, Mac, and 

Linux systems, the DS211+ provides the entire office data redundancy and 

protection. PC Users can back up their data to the Synology DS211+ using 

the free Synology Data Replicator software, while Mac OS X users enjoy 

native Apple® Time Machine® integration. A backup wizard is also provided 

for backing up data in the DS211+ to another Synology DiskStation or any 

rsync server via an encrypted transmission, or to an external hard drive via 

USB or eSATA connection. Furthering options, the wizard also makes it easy 

to backup to the cloud via Amazon® S3. In addition, users can back up and 

restore DiskStation shared folders in multiple versions using Synology Time 

Backup package.

USBCopy and SDCopy provide a plug-n-save solution to store data. With 

just one touch on the «Copy» button in the front panel, it quickly backs 

up all data on an USB storage device or SD card to the pre-defined shared 

folder on the DiskStation. 

The Synology DS211+ is equipped with an encryption engine which 

offloads the encryption calculation task away from the main CPU, helping 

to improve file transfer speeds of the DiskStation. The Synology testing lab 

shows that the hardware encryption engine boasts read speed that is about 

200% faster than the pure software encryption

Data protection is an important matter for businesses of all sizes. High-

end features previously available only on enterprise level hardware are 

now accessible via the DS211+ to small and medium-sized businesses. 

DiskStation Manager 3.0 (DSM 3.0), standard on all Synology DiskStations, 

provides share-level AES 256-bit encryption to aid in the prevention of 

unauthorized access attempts to the hard drives.

Synology DSM 3.0 operating system offers intuitive and easy-to-use 

web experience. For users who are limited on time and not familiar with 

configuring complicated routers, the Synology EZ-Internet Wizard simplifies 

the process of setting up access to the Synology DS211+ from the Internet. 

The EZ-Internet Wizard steps through all of the settings including firewall 

settings, port-forwarding, PPPoE setup and DDNS registration. 

The multitasking web UI on DSM 3.0 lets users to run multiple applications 

simultaneously on one tab browser and switch between them instantly. 

User Home feature makes creating private shared folders for a large number 

of users an easy task as it minimizes the steps and time for the administrator 

to create private shared folders. Sub-folder privilege settings further extend 

the flexibility to allocate permissions for different workgroups. All of these 

features are performed in a web browser, akin to a full desktop experience.

Synology DS211+ comes with the brand new hardware design with energy 

efficiency in mind. Not only does it provide the smart airflow to keep the 

system running cool 24/7, its 92mm fan and the snap-on HDD tray cover 

also allows the system to operate in a completely quiet environment. 

DS211+ consumes relatively low amount of power at 24 watts only in 

operation compared to PC counterparts. The support of multiple scheduled 

power on/off and hard drive hibernation can further reduce power 

consumption and operation cost.

All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and 

packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology acknowledges 

the responsibility as a global citizen to continually work to reduce the 

environmental impact of every product produced.
