Synology has announced the new 2-bay Synology DiskStation DS723+, the smallest expandable option in its lineup of all-in-one solutions. Powered by the versatile Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system, the DS723+ offers comprehensive solutions to protect and manage business data, easily collaborate on documents, access files remotely, and monitor physical assets, all within a compact desktop format.
“This new unit delivers impressive performance and capability for its size,” said Michael Wang, product manager at Synology. “With its extremely compact form factor, it will certainly appeal to those that have smaller storage requirements but don’t want to give up on the convenience of centralized storage and the possibility to scale in the future.”
Storage platform with expandability options
Ideal for teams of professionals, small businesses looking to step into the world of centralized storage, or as an edge node in distributed deployments, the DS723+ can scale up to 7 drive bays with a DX517 expansion unit when more capacity is needed.
Users can also upgrade performance thanks to the option to add 10GbE connectivity and M.2 NVMe SSD drives through the built-in PCIe slot to enable fast caching or create additional all-flash storage pools.
Versatile and intuitive surveillance solution
With support for more than 8,300 validated IP cameras and ONVIF devices, the powerful Synology Surveillance Station VMS can turn the DS723+ to a full-fledged video management system that privately stores the footage on-site.
Users can quickly set up and manage up to 40 cameras through a modern and customizable interface, and even overlay floor plans or Google Maps/OpenStreetMap maps when monitoring larger or multiple building environments. Simple and effective failover between recording servers, multi-device management, and the option to simultaneously record footage to the Synology C2 cloud boost resiliency and availability of important recordings.
