Built for high reliability

The SA6400 is designed with built-in redundancies to keep mission-critical services running, even when disaster strikes.

Out-of-band (OOB) management

Remotely power on/off, force restart, and reset your server, or view real-time and historical DSM system logs, even while the device is powered off or the primary network is down, using the dedicated out-of-band management console.

Redundant power supply

Reduce the possibility of power disruptions on a single distribution channel or power distribution unit adversely impacting data and service availability with redundant PSUs.

Failover Cluster

Combine two SA6400 units into a high-availability cluster with Synology High Availability to achieve full hardware and data redundancy. Minute-level failover minimizes data loss and downtime in the event of server failure, or while performing system updates or upgrades.

Advanced Networking Options

The SA6400 has the flexibility to accommodate different operating environments.

Built-in fast connectivity

Two 10GbE RJ-45 ports provide rapid transfer speeds right out of the box.

Configurable networking options

Add up to 2 extra 10GbE SFP+/RJ-45, 25GbE SFP28, or Fibre Channel ports in varying configurations.

Failover and network balancing

Bond multiple network interfaces with Link Aggregation to enable automatic network failover and load balancing.

Versatile data storage and business application platform

Provide easy access to business data, consolidate digital assets, or host cost-efficient business solutions.

Flexible file server

Take advantage of the SA6400’s high storage capacity and expansion capability to host large amounts of data on a central repository. Provide user-friendly access to business data and set up powerful cross-site syncing to empower remote and multi-site collaboration.

 

Central Backup Server

Back up PCs, servers, Synology systems, SaaS data, and VMs, and back up your backup servers themselves with a scalable central storage solution.

 

Business Application Platform

Host cost-efficient business solutions, either through containers, virtual machines, or Synology DiskStation (DSM)’s own solutions, including a powerful free backup suite, a versatile mail server, and a surveillance VMS with transparent licensing.

 

Centralized monitoring and management

Stay on top of your fleet and keep it in optimal condition with our cloud and DSM-based monitoring and management solutions.

Central Management System (CMS)

Conveniently manage your fleet of Synology systems from a centralized console.

Active Insight

A powerful cloud-based platform for monitoring performance, backup status, login activity and performing lightweight management tasks.
