DS1621 NAS Storage Solutions for Secure Data Sharing

The DS1621 is a 6-bay Network Attached Storage (NAS) device from Synology, designed to provide small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and creative professionals with a centralized, secure, and scalable storage solution. As part of the network storage category in Beijing Wisdom Creation Information Technology Co., Ltd.’s product matrix, it aligns with the company’s focus on delivering "convenient, flexible, and secure" IT solutions, enhancing the "computing + storage + network" ecosystem by enabling seamless data sharing and management. The DS1621 features a compact, desktop or rack-mountable design (with an optional rack kit), making it suitable for offices with limited space. Its 6 drive bays support 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs, with a maximum raw storage capacity of up to 120TB (when using 20TB drives). This capacity is sufficient for storing large files such as media projects, databases, and backups, while supporting storage expansion via Synology’s DX517 expansion unit to add up to 5 more drives, ensuring scalability as data needs grow. Under the hood, the DS1621 is powered by an Intel Xeon D-1527 quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR4 RAM (expandable to 32GB), delivering sufficient processing power to handle concurrent file access, media transcoding, and virtualization tasks. This makes it versatile beyond simple storage—capable of running Synology’s suite of applications, including Synology Drive (for file syncing), Surveillance Station (for video monitoring), and Virtual Machine Manager (for hosting lightweight VMs). Data protection is a key focus, with support for various RAID configurations (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and Synology Hybrid RAID) to safeguard against drive failures. It also includes features like snapshot technology for point-in-time data recovery, data encryption (at rest and in transit), and two-factor authentication for secure access, aligning with the "secure" product positioning emphasized by Beijing Wisdom Creation. Networking capabilities are robust, with four Gigabit Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and failover, ensuring high-speed, reliable connectivity to the local network. This allows multiple users and devices—such as workstations, servers, and mobile devices—to access stored data simultaneously, enhancing collaboration and productivity. The DS1621 integrates seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures, supporting protocols like SMB, AFP, NFS, and iSCSI, ensuring compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, and virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V). This interoperability aligns with Beijing Wisdom Creation’s focus on comprehensive solutions, allowing it to work alongside servers (e.g., Dell, HPE) and network switches (e.g., Cisco) in the ecosystem. Energy efficiency is addressed through features like hard drive hibernation (powering down idle drives) and efficient power supplies, reducing energy consumption and operational costs—consistent with the "sustainable, energy-efficient" ethos. Management is simplified via Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), an intuitive web-based operating system that provides a user-friendly interface for configuring storage, monitoring performance, and installing applications. This ease of use supports Beijing Wisdom Creation’s emphasis on "pleasant service experience," making it accessible even for users with limited IT expertise. Whether deployed in a design studio storing large media files, a small business centralizing document storage, or a remote office managing backups, the Synology DS1621 delivers a balance of capacity, performance, and security. It reinforces Beijing Wisdom Creation’s ability to provide tailored storage solutions that meet the diverse needs of modern businesses.
