RS1219+ is equipped with a quad-core processor and 2GB DDR3 memory (expandable up to 16GB). In a 10GbE network environment, RS1219+ delivers outstanding sequential throughput performance at over 1,310 MB/s reading and 470 MB/s writing.
Enterprise-grade Applications
Powered by the innovative Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), RS1219+ comes fully-equipped with applications and features designed specifically for small or growing businesses:
- Windows® AD and LDAP support allows easy integration with existing business directory services.
- Windows ACL support provides fine-grained access control and efficient privilege settings, allowing RS1219+ to fit seamlessly into existing infrastructure.
