Synology DiskStation DS224+ 2-Bay NAS Server

Keep your data on-site

• Consolidate and safeguard: Protect all your data with integrated security features and centralized access.
• Manage important data: Share, back up, and access files, photos, surveillance video, and more.
• Minimize energy impact: 15 watts under full operation keeps operating costs low.

Simply faster

DS224+ is faster at indexing files in Synology Drive and Synology Photos and more capable of running demanding web applications compared to previous-generation systems.

Private cloud for data sharing

• Hybrid work in the private cloud: Store, sync, access, and share data from any device, wherever you are. Work together seamlessly across different platforms, accessing files through mobile apps, desktop clients, or a browser-based interface. Quickly and easily roll back files in case of unwanted deletion or modification thanks to smart versioning.
• Keep your photos organized: Effortlessly back up and organize photos, videos, and other visual assets using intuitive management tools. Automatically organize your content into albums and create secure share links for stakeholders and teammates.
• Synchronize data between sites: Work together with minimal slowdown using site-to-site file syncing, which can be configured to automatically synchronize individual files or folders between Synology devices, allowing seamless file access from local devices.
• Manage data with the power of the cloud: Reduce your on-site storage footprint and benefit from data center network speeds with hybrid cloud technology. Synology Hybrid Share adds automatic cloud tiering, keeping the bulk of data in the cloud, while caching frequently accessed files locally on your DS224+ for fast access at LAN speeds.

Multi-layered backup

• Back up workstations, smartphones, cloud apps, and more: Consolidate and automate backup tasks for workstations, file servers, VMs, SaaS applications, and more with Active Backup Suite. Administer device backups remotely through a centralized portal and quickly restore specific files or entire devices to keep your business up and running. Take advantage of built-in remote backup solutions designed to protect your data with seamless 3-2-1 backup configurations.
• Perform full Synology system backups: Protect all data, applications, and configurations on your Synology systems with comprehensive scheduled backups to local and remote servers, external drives, or cloud storage destinations including Synology C2 Storage.
• Protect folders and LUNs with snapshots: Configure efficient point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and LUNs at intervals as short as 5 minutes. Let users easily restore previous versions of files unassisted, quickly recover VMs, and copy snapshots to another server to benefit from rapid storage failover. Further safeguard data integrity with immutable snapshots.

Smart surveillance management

• Synology Surveillance Station: Protecting your business has never been easier, with centralized management, support for over 8,300 IP camera models, and remote monitoring and playback. Synology's video management system provides all the tools you need for live monitoring, investigation, management, and backup.
• Dual recording to the cloud: C2 Backup for Surveillance allows you to keep access to surveillance footage if your recording server is disabled by recording to your local server as well as the C2 cloud. End-to-end encryption protects streams against unauthorized access while low latency recording lets you review the crucial last few seconds before the recording server was lost.

Btrfs: advanced file system for data protection

The Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) operating system that powers the DS224+ uses the advanced Btrfs file system, which safeguards your data against corruption and allows for the reversal of unintended or malicious changes through the use of snapshot technology.
