. In addition to the default 4 Gigabit ports, dual 10GbE 

are supported with the add-on PCI Express x8 Gen2 Network Interface 

Card to maximize the system bandwidth. RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is able to 

bring you the ultra-high performance that your data-intensive application 

demands on the storage system.

High Reliability & Availability

Reliable functioning of commercial systems is of paramount concern 

to business users that depending on these servers everyday. Synology 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is now introduced with the fanless CPU heatsink to 

prevent the single point of failure, with the CPU passive cooling technology 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs achieves the high reliability system design. When 

system detects fan failure, the built-in redundancy mechanism will spin 

up the functional fan(s) to properly ventilate the system, and support 

continuous operations until the replacement fan arrives. Therefore, 

potential system damages are minimized and system availability is 

maximized.
The network ports with failover support combining with hot-swappable 

drives will ensure continual service uptime during drives replacement or 

unexpected LAN failure. The ECC RAM module on RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs 

will detect and correct errors that occur during data transmission. 

Supporting up to 6GB ECC RAM, RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs provides secure 

data protection and performance to meet the need of large scale 

businesses for a strong foundation to face mission-critical tasks.

Robust Scalability Up to 100 TB

Synology RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is also designed to grow with your 

business and provides the ability to seamlessly expand a single volume up 

to 100TB on the fly. When the storage capacity of RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs 

is nearing its limits, it can easily be expanded with Synology 

RX1211/RX1211RP

2

. It is connected to RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs via an 

Infiniband cable that carries 12 Gb/s SATA signal to ensure maximum 

throughput.
Management of the large storage space on RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is simple 

and flexible. Multiple Volumes on RAID allows users to create more than 

one volume on a RAID structure, providing a flexible and efficient way to 

manage the storage across all hard drives. When the need for more space 

arises, the volume could be easily expanded without any service disruption.

Unified Storage and Virtualization Ready

Synology RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs runs on the novel operating system, 

Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), which integrates file-level and 

block-level storage in one unified storage system platform providing 

management simplicity to reduce your total cost of ownership.
Comprehensive network protocol support (CIFS/SMB, AFP and NFS) assures 

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

also supported as the ideal alternative to SAN solution for business. 
Affordable and cost-effective iSCSI allows large scale business to 

consolidate storage into data center storage arrays while providing 

hosts with the illusion of locally-attached disks. With the iSCSI 

support, RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs provides a seamless storage solution 

for virtualization servers, such as VMware, Citrix, and Hyper-V. 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is also certified with the latest VMware vSphere® 5, 

supporting VMFS-5 and extended storage migration capability with better 

flexibility and higher performance in VMware virtualization platform. 
Thin Provisioning is available for file-level iSCSI, enabling administrators to 

oversubscribe provision and then grow storage space as needed in safety. 

With Thin Provisioning, users are able to maximize the storage utilization to 

reduce the total cost of ownership for the storage system.

Full-featured Business Applications

The Synology RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs offers applications and features 

designed specifically for large scale business. Windows ADS and LDAP 

integration allows RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs to quickly and easily fit in an 

existing business network environment without recreating user accounts. 

Windows ACL support on RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs provides much finer-

grained access control and efficient privilege settings, allowing IT staffs to 

set up privileges to files and folders on RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs through their 

familiar Windows user interface.
The built-in backup application is provided for backing up data in the 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs to another Synology NAS, expansion unit, any rsync 

server via an encrypted transmission. It is even possible to back up from 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs to the cloud with the Amazon® S3 support. Shared 

Folder Sync is also available in DSM for implementing disaster recovery 

plans. With Shared Folder Sync, RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is able to replicate 

data to another DiskStation within the Intranet or across the Internet, 

helping to reduce the risk of business interruption.

Energy Efficient Design

Synology RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs is designed and developed with energy 

efficiency in mind. Compared with the average storage server counterparts, 

RS3412xs/RS3412RPxs consumes a relatively low amount of power and 

have the hard drives hibernate when not in use.
All Synology products are produced with RoHS compliant parts and 

packed with recyclable packing materials. Synology acknowledges
