Notes: Long-term archived data can be tiered to remote storage, keeping only the index locally to reduce local space usage. The Capacity with Tiering limit depends on the appliance data usage and the number of tiered workloads and versions. Contact the Synology team for evaluation. ActiveProtect license is required. The suggested concurrent built-in restored VMs of rackmount models can be increased by adding extra memory modules. Other models have no expansion options. Model specifications are subject to change without prior notice.The figures are based on Synology internal testing. Each performance test is done individually. No other services or applications are processed at the same time.
