Introduction to Synology\’s PAS7700

Singapore has witnessed a significant transformation in its IT infrastructure, driven by the rapid adoption of AI, data analytics, and virtualization platforms. As these technologies reshape how enterprises operate, the role of storage systems has evolved beyond mere data preservation. It has become the backbone of core operational applications, with organizations placing higher demands on access speed, service continuity, and long-term stability. In response to this shift, Synology has launched PAS7700, its first active-active, all-flash NVMe storage system.

PAS7700 is designed to meet the needs of mission-critical workloads, offering enterprise-grade performance, uninterrupted resilience, and optimized operational efficiency. This new system reflects Synology’s 25+ years of experience in storage solutions and its commitment to addressing the evolving requirements of enterprise customers. After extensive real-world validation through an enterprise proof-of-concept program, PAS7700 has proven itself as a reliable and high-performing solution that helps reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) for businesses.

A Storage Platform for Mission-Critical Systems

PAS7700 is equipped with dual controllers and 48 NVMe SSD bays within a 4U chassis. It can scale up to 1.65 PB of raw storage capacity when combined with up to seven expansion units. The system supports both file and block storage, offering broad protocol support such as NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB, and NFS.

With up to 2,048 GB of memory* and 100GbE networking, PAS7700 delivers up to 2 million IOPS, latency under 1 millisecond, and sequential throughput of up to 30 GB/s. This makes it ideal for environments requiring real-time data processing, such as virtualization, databases, and large-scale data processing. It also targets performance-intensive and always-on workloads like VDI, EDA, and AI.

Moreover, the system is well-suited for organizations operating data-intensive infrastructure in sectors such as data centers, manufacturing, semiconductor design, game development, and healthcare. These industries typically process large volumes of data concurrently and require systems that can maintain consistent performance and continuous service availability.

Designed to Minimize System Disruption

One of PAS7700’s most notable features is its active-active architecture, which allows both controllers to operate simultaneously rather than relying on a traditional active-standby model. This ensures that if one controller or a network component fails, the system can continue delivering services, significantly reducing the risk of business disruption.

The system includes multiple protection layers to ensure high availability, including triple-parity RAID, mirrored write cache protection, IP failover, and automatic failover mechanisms. Additionally, Continuous Availability Manager enables enterprise IT teams to visually monitor the health status of each system component and detect and address issues quickly before they affect services.

Multi-Layer Data Protection for Enterprises

Synology places a strong emphasis on enterprise data protection. PAS7700 supports Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), providing hardware-level protection without compromising system performance. The system also supports WORM folders and immutable snapshots, ensuring that snapshots remain protected from unauthorized modification or deletion after creation.

In addition, PAS7700 features Snapshot Replication and Hyper Backup, allowing enterprises to build multiple layers of backup and recovery between production environments and secondary systems. This strengthens cyber resilience and improves data recoverability in the event of incidents or cyberattacks.

Lower Cost, Greater Efficiency

Beyond performance, Synology addresses the challenge of optimizing long-term storage investment for enterprises. As many businesses in Singapore expand their data infrastructure and internal AI workloads, the cost of high-speed storage is exerting increasing pressure on IT environments.

PAS7700 supports both inline and offline deduplication technologies to help reduce unnecessary data usage and extend SSD lifespan. This mechanism significantly improves storage efficiency in large-scale data environments. In the near future, the system will also support Synology Tiering, which automatically moves infrequently accessed data to high-capacity storage systems. This helps free up high-speed NVMe resources for active applications and hot data.

The entire platform runs on DSM Enterprise, Synology\’s operating system developed specifically for enterprise storage. It is designed for environments that require high performance while maintaining intuitive management and operational simplicity.
