DSM-driven NAS from 2-bay SOHO to 24-bay rackmount. Active Backup, Synology Drive, Surveillance Station — the integrated software is the real product.
Synology wins on software. DSM, Synology Drive, Active Backup for Business, Hyper Backup, Surveillance Station, MailPlus — the integrated stack covers what most SMBs would otherwise license separately. Hardware-wise, Synology's strength is the 4–12 bay desktop and rackmount space.
We supply DS, RS, and HD series across the line. Plus controllers (DS920+, DS1522+, DS1823xs+, RS1221+) cover most SMB scenarios. SA-series (SA3400, SA6400) and HD-series (HD6500) cover the higher tier when the deployment exceeds 24 bays.
5 lines we quote the most. Anything else from the Synology catalog we source on order through the channel — typically 5–10 business days.
Real configurations we've quoted and shipped this year. Each scenario maps to a product line above — useful when you're scoping a similar project.
DS1522+ with 32GB ECC, five IronWolf Pro 12TB drives in SHR-2, plus an NVMe read-write cache. DSM 7.2 with Active Directory join, Synology Drive for file sync, and Active Backup for Business for the workstations.
RS3621xs+ with 16 IronWolf Pro 8TB drives in SHR-2 + 32 license packs. Surveillance Station handles the recording, motion detection, and live viewing. No additional VMS license needed for camera counts under 1,000.
HD6500 in the secondary site, replicating from RS3621xs+ in the primary. Snapshot Replication every 5 minutes for the production volumes, every hour for archive. The hardware sits at a third the price of the equivalent dedicated backup appliance.
Honest side-by-side on the specs UAE buyers ask about most often. We supply both — pick on workload and price, not on logo.
Spec parity does not mean operational parity. Workload profile, firmware revision history, and warranty network in the UAE all matter. Tell us the deployment in the quote and we’ll point at the version that actually fits.
Questions that actually come up on quotes. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us or send the form.
For SMBs that need backup, file sync, and surveillance in one box without piecing it together, yes. DSM's integration is the actual product — Active Backup, Synology Drive, Surveillance Station all work together cleanly. QNAP offers more raw hardware per dollar but the software is less unified.
DS1823xs+, DS3622xs+, and most RS-series 1U+ models. The Plus desktop line (DS923+, DS1522+) requires an add-in 10GbE card. Specify the network in the quote so we include the right card or model.
Both. Some Synology models lock to Synology-branded drives via DSM compatibility checks — typically the SA-series and newer Plus models. We confirm compatibility at quote time and recommend HAT5300/HAT5310 only when the model requires it.
Yes. DSM supports joining a Windows AD domain or hosting its own LDAP. Most SMB deployments join the existing AD. Larger sites that consolidate identity in the NAS use Synology Directory Server, which is built into DSM 7.2+.
HD6500 — 60-bay 4U high-density. Stockable on order, lead time 2–4 weeks depending on configuration. We coordinate with Synology's regional channel for tenders that exceed our standing stock.
Surveillance Station is more flexible — works with 5,000+ camera models, runs on the same NAS as your file storage, integrates with DSM users. HikVision NVR is more turnkey for HikVision-only deployments. We supply both, including mixed-vendor camera setups.
Three years standard on most Plus models. Five years optional on selected SA and HD models. RMA paperwork runs through us — turnaround typically 7–14 business days for replacement.
Yes, via Container Manager (the renamed Docker package in DSM 7.2). For container-heavy workloads, look at the XS+ or RS Plus models with more RAM and dedicated CPU. The Value series (DS223, DS423) can technically run Container Manager but lacks the headroom.
