Frequently Asked Questions about RackStation:

Block-based incremental backups reduce Recovery Point Objective (RPO) times because only the data blocks that have changed since the last backup are transferred. This significantly reduces backup windows and data volumes, enabling backups to be performed at shorter intervals and minimizing potential data loss in the event of a failure.

NVMe caching primarily accelerates random I/O workloads because frequently accessed data blocks are stored in high-speed flash memory, significantly reducing latency. For sequential workloads, cache policies, read-ahead mechanisms, and write-back strategies determine whether data is processed directly from primary storage or through the cache. The primary objective is to utilize available bandwidth efficiently while avoiding unnecessary write operations.

For traditional file services, 1 GbE or 2.5 GbE networks are often sufficient in smaller environments. However, for virtualization, backup workloads, and large data volumes, 10 GbE or higher bandwidths are recommended. Link aggregation increases total throughput for multiple clients but does not increase the speed of a single data stream per host. For iSCSI, NFS, or large sequential transfers, jumbo frames and an appropriately designed switch and network architecture can further optimize throughput and latency.

Synology RackStations are designed for continuous 24/7 operation but require proper airflow management and sufficient front-to-back airflow within the rack. In densely populated racks, temperatures can increase significantly, especially when many HDDs, high CPU loads, and high-speed network interfaces are present. Therefore, cooling, power delivery, airflow management, and rack layout should all be considered during the planning phase.

VAAI supports integration into hypervisor environments by offloading specific storage operations from the host to the storage system. Features such as Full Copy, Block Zeroing, and Hardware-Assisted Locking reduce host CPU and network utilization while accelerating tasks such as virtual machine cloning and storage provisioning.

Synology RackStation – Storage, Virtualization, and Enterprise Workloads

The Synology RackStation is designed as a central storage platform for demanding enterprise environments and can be flexibly integrated into existing IT infrastructures. It particularly excels in virtualization and centralized data provisioning scenarios.

Typical use cases and functional areas include:

  • iSCSI and LUN storage for block-level access in enterprise environments
  • Integration into VMware environments as a central datastore for virtual machines
  • Support for common VMware and ESXi environments for virtualization and storage integration
  • Flexible storage allocation for dynamic workloads and applications
  • Efficient utilization through thin provisioning and snapshot-based backup

These capabilities allow you to centrally store, migrate, and manage virtual machines without the need for additional dedicated storage systems. At the same time, the close integration with virtualization platforms ensures stable and high-performance workload delivery. The RackStation also demonstrates high flexibility in traditional enterprise environments. It is suitable for file services, application data, and centralized user management in larger IT infrastructures. This creates a unified storage platform that can be used for both operational systems and production applications. See for yourself and order a Synology RackStation today.
