Flexible, high-performance network connectivity
The FS6420 supports a wide range of networking interfaces, protocols, and configurations for seamless integration into enterprise environments.

Built-in fast connectivity
Two 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide excellent networking performance right out of the box. Flexible networking options
Improve I/O performance or add redundancy with optional 10GbE or 25GbE SFP+/SFP28 and 10GbE Ethernet NICs, or Fibre Channel HBAs.

Failover and network balancing
Bond multiple network interfaces with Link aggregation to enable automatic network failover and load balancing.

Storage efficiency

Automated storage tiering
Synology Tiering automatically moves infrequently accessed data from the FS6420 to cost-efficient tiers, balancing performance and capacity to maximize storage ROI. Flexible tiering policies, broad target support, and clear visibility into data usage help you adapt quickly to changing business needs.

Flash volume deduplication
Volume-wide deduplication on all-flash arrays removes redundant data, boosting storage efficiency by up to 65% for virtual desktops and virtual machines.

VM Block & File Storage

Certified virtualization support

A secure private cloud solution for enterprise collaboration

A private cloud suite for file sharing
Empower your entire organization with streamlined access, sharing, and syncing of data from any location. Establish granular control over file and folder access and sharing permissions. Maintain a comprehensive audit trail of file activities and track changes to file share settings with detailed records.

Multi-platform support
Access personal and shared data from mobile apps, desktop clients, web browsers, or another Synology system. Any changes you make are automatically synced to other devices as soon as they are connected.

Efficient multi-site synchronization

Cloud-powered multi-site syncing
Empower global workflows with high-speed access to data from anywhere in your network. Our hybrid cloud solution caches frequently used files locally for rapid access, while less frequently accessed data is stored in the cloud, reducing your on-site storage requirements.

NAS-to-NAS synchronization
Automate site-to-site data synchronization for better team workflows. Options for one-way or two-way syncing keep files and folders up-to-date across every data site.

Sync to public cloud providers
Connect seamlessly to public cloud services including Amazon S3, BackBlaze B2, Dropbox, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, and OpenStack Swift. Multiple protocol support, client-side encryption, and customizable sync and bandwidth controls enable efficient storage management across various platforms.

Comprehensive backup solutions

Endpoint, VM, and NAS/SAN protection
Securely back up a wide range of systems including Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints, VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, and Synology servers. Expand protection to physical servers running Windows or Linux, as well as storage solutions such as Nutanix Files, NetApp ONTAP, and Windows Server with VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service). Built-in deduplication technology optimizes storage efficiency, while multi-versioning capabilities provide flexible restoration options.

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Centralize backups of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data to protect cloud data from accidents and simplify compliance with data retention policies. Schedulable backups, flexible file versioning, and block-level deduplication ensure flexibility and storage and bandwidth savings.

Advanced data protection and recovery

Efficient and reliable Synology system backup
Back up entire systems or all data, applications, and configurations to a wide range of storage destinations, including Synology C2 Storage. In case of data loss, quickly restore complete systems through bare-metal recovery or retrieve individual files as needed. Advanced features including automated scheduling, granular access controls, end-to-end encryption, data deduplication, and multi-version retention empower you to create the optimal backup plan for your data deployment.

Tamper-proof protection with immutable snapshots
Safeguard critical LUNs and shared folders with automated immutable snapshots backed by custom retention policies. Built-in support for offsite replication further ensures robust business continuity.

Centralized monitoring and management
Monitor and manage your Synology fleet from a central interface, on-prem or in the cloud.

Central Management System
Manage Synology servers from a central console using group policies, task delegation, batch updates, and more.

Active Insight
Monitor your global Synology fleet's performance, backup status, login activity, and more with the power of the cloud.
