Synology has introduced the PAS7700, an enterprise-grade storage system designed for high-performance workloads like AI training and large-scale simulations. The 4U rackmount appliance features a dual-controller active-active architecture that ensures continuous operation without downtime.
The new appliance delivers massive throughput for AI training and large-scale simulations
The core of the PAS7700 is its extensive NVMe drive capacity. It includes 48 internal bays for solid-state drives and supports connections to up to seven expansion enclosures. This configuration allows the system to scale storage space up to 1.65 petabytes, providing ample room for massive datasets.
Spec comparison
| Spec | PAS7700 |
|---|---|
| Form Factor | 4U Rackmount |
| NVMe Drive Bays | 48 internal bays + 7 expansion enclosures |
| Maximum Storage Capacity | 1.65PB |
| Controller Memory | Up to 1024GB per controller |
| Performance | 2 million IOPS, 30GB/s sequential throughput |
Performance metrics highlight the appliance's speed and efficiency. The dual-controller setup delivers 2 million IOPS and achieves sequential read/write speeds of 30GB/s with sub-millisecond latency. Each controller can be equipped with up to 1024GB of RAM and utilizes 100GbE networking for high-bandwidth data transfer.
Data protection is a key feature, incorporating built-in deduplication and compression alongside self-encrypting drives. The system also supports WORM backup technology and multi-path backup solutions to ensure robust data integrity and security for enterprise environments.
The PAS7700 runs on Synology Business DSM, the company's proprietary operating system tailored for business needs. This software provides a familiar interface while offering advanced management tools specifically designed for high-density storage arrays in corporate settings.
