Synology Unified Controller UC3200 Dual Controller Architecture, Rackmount 2U 12-Bays (Expandable upto 36-Bays) – UC3200
Unified Controller UC3200
Active-active SAN storage for mission-critical environments
Overview
Features
Reliable, high availability SAN
Two independent controllers in the Synology UC3200 SAN work simultaneously to ensure interruption-free iSCSI and FC services.
Easily scalable
High-performance SAS drives slots and support for up to 576 TB, fully expanded, ensures the UC3200 is ready for any project. For mission-critical and sensitive data, native support for SEDs provides hardware-level encryption for all data.
Redundant power supply
Modularized and swappable 500W power supply prevents service downtime in the event of a power supply failure.
Active-active controller module
Dual controller modules work simultaneously to provide high performance and uninterrupted FC and SAN services.
PCIe expansion options
Boost network bandwidth with 10/25 Gb Ethernet cards or 8/16 Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapters.
2 x 1GbE & 1 x 10GbE
Onboard RJ45 interfaces of 1GbE and 10GbE with the Link Aggregation support.
Mini-SAS HD port
Connect up to 2 x RXD1219sas for flexible plug-and-play volume expansion.
Performance
A quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor powers each controller for enhanced reliability and performance of up to 140,000 4K random write IOPs.
Scalable memory
Each controller board features four DDR4 ECC UDIMM slots for expandability and improved system performance.
Cooling
Modularized fans with redundancy regulate system temperatures and are easy to service and replace.
Independent system architecture
The management operating system, DSM UC, is stored on a separate SATA DOM drive on each controller.
Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB)
System memory is synchronized between controllers using a high-speed interface to maximize the protection of in-flight data.
Works with mainstream virtualization systems
Optimized for virtualization environments.
- Integrated with VMware vSphere® 6.5, Microsoft Hyper-V®, and VAAI to offload storage operations and optimize computational efficiency.
- Windows Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX) is supported to speed up data transfer and migration rates.
- Turn Synology UC3200 into a block-based storage component with the support of OpenStack® Cinder.
- Compliance with the ALUA industry standard allows hosts to identify optimized paths to increase data transfer performance and efficiency.
Learn more about Storage for Virtualization
Engineered for iSCSI/FC SAN
DSM UC, an operating system designed to ease the learning curve, allows you to manage the two controllers from one single portal. The built-in monitor applications display the status at a glance and send prompt notifications when important events occur, so that IT administrators can stay alert to potential problems and respond in the shortest time possible.
A unified interface for intuitive management
Cutting-edge LUN features
Advanced LUN functionality significantly improves VM performance and offers lightning-fast snapshot creation, recovery, and cloning, as well as VMware VAAI and Windows ODX support.
Intuitive management
A streamlined management interface makes connection and permission management exceptionally easy, even in large-scale SAN environments.
For large and small deployments
Support for iSCSI as well as Fibre Channel means that Synology storage systems integrate as easily in smaller setups as in enterprise environments.
Disaster-proof your critical data
Leverage application-aware snapshot protection and instant recovery of virtual machines on LUNs in case of disaster. Snapshot Replication (enabled by the Btrfs file system) offers schedulable and near-instantaneous data protection, while UC3200 supports up to 4,096 system-wide snapshots of local volumes or off-site servers.
