Reducing initial deployment costs with standard 4GB non-ECC DDR4 and supporting maximum 32GB ECC memory expansion
Synology unveiled a new NAS product lineup featuring reasonable memory configurations. The neo+ series shares the same platform as the existing DS Plus series while reducing initial deployment costs, positioning it for enterprise customers with diverse budget and performance requirements.
Synology launched the DiskStation neo+ series on the 11th, consisting of four models: DS1825neo+, DS1525neo+, DS925neo+, and DS725neo+.
All four models come standard with 4GB non-ECC DDR4 SODIMM memory, and the company stated that users can select configurations matching their budget at the time of deployment and expand as needed.
Bie-I Chu, Senior Vice President of Synology NAS Group, said "As the memory market environment changes, the neo+ series is the result of efforts to enhance customer accessibility," and "hardware configurations can be freely expanded to match budget and business growth plans."
All neo+ series models come standard with M.2 slots for SSD caching and 2.5GbE network ports.
Storage capacity can also be increased by connecting DX525 expansion units.
The higher-end models DS1825neo+ and DS1525neo+ feature PCIe 3.0 slots enabling installation of 10GbE or 25GbE network adapter cards.
Memory can be expanded up to 32GB maximum by removing existing non-ECC modules and replacing them with ECC memory.
The neo+ series operates on DiskStation Manager (DSM).
By configuring a private cloud environment through Synology Drive, data access and synchronization between branch offices is possible across multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Active Backup Suite supports integrated protection of endpoints including virtual machines and cloud accounts, while Surveillance Station provides on-premises NVR functionality for managing video security across multiple locations, according to Synology.
