Its all-flash SATA architecture and Intel Xeon D-1739 processor support concurrent virtual-machine, database and file-service workloads. Size the SSD population, RAID layout, memory and networking together rather than treating a maximum benchmark as a guaranteed application result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConnect at 10 GbE and Expand When Needed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 10 GbE RJ-45 ports are built in, allowing a suitable network to start without an additional data adapter. Separate out-of-band management supports administration outside the main data path. Compatible PCIe network cards or Fibre Channel adapters can extend the deployment; expansion cards, optics, switches and cabling remain separate purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtect Availability at Multiple Levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedundant power supplies help address an individual supply failure. Two compatible, identically configured systems can form a Synology High Availability cluster for a supported failover design. These measures serve different failure scenarios and still need correctly planned power, networking and independent backups; one enclosure alone does not provide a second storage server.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild a Maintainable Storage Layout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSM supports Btrfs, iSCSI and a choice of RAID layouts including RAID F1 for an all-flash design. Snapshots and replication provide recovery points when configured appropriately, while storage-efficiency functions can reduce consumption for suitable data. RAID, snapshots and deduplication complement a wider backup plan rather than replacing an independent recoverable copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConsolidate Business Services with Clear Limits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse supported DSM packages for file collaboration, backup and virtualisation as the installation requires. Surveillance Station includes two camera licences, with additional licences and model-specific recording limits applying beyond that allowance. Camera capacity depends on codec, resolution, recording settings and competing workloads, so size a mixed-use system for the real deployment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecify the Complete Rack Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValidated SATA SSDs are mandatory and are purchased separately. RKS-02 rails, compatible memory, network upgrades and any additional software entitlements should be selected before installation. Confirm rack depth, ventilation, power feeds and the supported firmware or drive configuration so that the final system matches both the workload and the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FS3420 is an enterprise all-flash storage platform for organisations that need fast shared data services with practical availability and recovery tools. Combine its 24 SATA SSD bays, dual 10 GbE and expandable ECC memory with validated drives, suitable networking and a tested continuity plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"ace-article-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"ace-form-disclosure\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"ace-form-title\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-title-text\"\u003eAre SSDs Included?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-toggle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-expand\"\u003eExpand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-collapse\"\u003eCollapse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ace-form-chevron\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ace-form-body\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a diskless all-flash enclosure for compatible 2.5-inch SATA SSDs.
