Case Study: Technische Universität Ilmenau achieves reliable, flexible, and scalable storage with Synology Inc.'s RS2212RP+

Technische Universität Ilmenau - Customer Case Study

Technische Universität Ilmenau's faculty of Computer Science and Automation needed a robust, flexible and low‑maintenance storage solution when nine divisions moved into the new Zusebau building. Reliability, scalability and cross‑platform access (Linux, Solaris, Windows) were top priorities, so the university chose Synology Inc.'s RackStation RS2212RP+ NAS servers.

Synology Inc. deployed nine RS2212RP+ units to provide iSCSI/NFS/rsync backup targets, PXE boot services, Windows AD integration and multipath dual‑NIC connectivity for better performance and redundancy. The RS2212RP+ fleet proved easy to manage and resilient—RAID protection prevented data loss during a hard‑drive failure and systems were rebuilt quickly—delivering reliable, adaptable storage that meets current needs and supports future growth.
