Synology UC3200 12-Bay Dual Controller SAN Enclosure, Diskless

Bring unparalleled reliability and high-performance storage to your mission-critical environments with the Synology UC3200 12-Bay Dual Controller SAN Enclosure. Engineered for seamless iSCSI and FC services, this diskless SAN solution features dual independent controllers that operate concurrently, ensuring continuous, interruption-free data access. The UC3200 is designed to meet the demands of high-availability applications, providing a robust and durable storage infrastructure that IT professionals can rely on.

The spacious architecture of the UC3200 allows for significant scalability, with high-performance SAS drive slots ready to support a fully expanded capacity of up to 576TB. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that anticipate growth and require a storage solution that can evolve with their data needs. Advanced security is also a cornerstone of the UC3200, with native support for Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) offering hardware-level encryption to protect sensitive and critical data.

Redundancy is built into every aspect of the UC3200, from its modularized and swappable 500W power supply units that minimize service downtime, to its redundant modular fans that ensure optimal cooling and easy maintenance. The active-active controller module is a testament to the enclosure's commitment to continuous operation, providing high performance and uninterrupted services even in the most demanding scenarios.

Networking capabilities of the UC3200 are extensive, with onboard RJ45 interfaces of 1GbE and 10GbE supporting Link Aggregation for increased network throughput. Additionally, PCle expansion options allow for further enhancement of network bandwidth with 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards or 8/16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapters. The inclusion of a Mini-SAS HD port enables straightforward and flexible volume expansion by connecting up to two RXD1219sas units.

At the heart of each controller lies a quad-core Intel Xeon processor, delivering exceptional reliability and a performance capability of up to 140,000 4K random write IOPs. The scalable memory feature, with four DDR4 ECC UDIMM slots per controller board, further enhances system performance and expandability.

The UC3200 boasts an independent system architecture with the DSM UC operating system stored on separate SATA DOM drives for each controller, ensuring robust management and operation. The Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) technology synchronizes system memory between controllers via a high-speed interface, safeguarding in-flight data.

Optimized for virtualization environments, the UC3200 integrates with mainstream systems such as VMware vSphere 6.5, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VAAI, offloading storage operations to optimize computational efficiency. Support for Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) accelerates data transfer and migration rates, while compatibility with OpenStack Cinder allows the UC3200 to serve as a block-based storage component. Compliance with the ALUA industry standard enhances data transfer performance and efficiency.

The intuitive management interface of the UC3200 simplifies connection and permission management, even in extensive SAN deployments. Advanced LUN features elevate VM performance and enable rapid snapshot creation, recovery, and cloning. Disaster-proof your critical data with Snapshot Replication, leveraging the Btrfs file system for schedulable and near-instantaneous data protection, supporting up to 4,096 system-wide snapshots for local volumes or offsite servers, and ensuring instant recovery of virtual machines in iSCSI LUNs in the event of a disaster.

Choose the Synology UC3200 12-Bay Dual Controller SAN Enclosure for a sophisticated, spacious, and advanced storage solution that delivers on the promise of reliability and performance for your enterprise's most critical data needs.
