Synology Launches New Performance Evaluation Website
Synology Introduces Dedicated Performance Evaluation Website
Synology has launched a new performance evaluation website designed to help IT professionals, system architects, and decision-makers assess and compare the real-world performance of Synology’s storage platforms, network services, and hybrid cloud solutions. This resource aims to provide transparent, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand benchmarks that reflect typical enterprise workloads spanning file services, virtualization, backup, and database operations.
With expanding demands on data infrastructure driven by digital transformation, hybrid work, and compliance requirements, organizations need clearer guidance on how storage and compute platforms will perform under realistic conditions. Synology’s new site fills this gap by presenting impartial, workload-specific performance data to help businesses make informed decisions when selecting or optimizing infrastructure.
Why a Performance Evaluation Resource Matters
In today’s competitive IT landscape, generic specifications alone are rarely enough to guide procurement and architecture decisions. Organizations require application-level insight into how solutions behave under expected load patterns. Synology’s performance evaluation site provides this visibility across several dimensions:
Throughput and IOPS under varying workloads
Latency impact across protocols such as SMB, NFS, and iSCSI
Virtualization performance with VMware and Hyper-V environments
Backup and recovery throughput with Active Backup and other tools
By supplying data that reflects enterprise use cases, which include concurrent users, mixed I/O patterns, and hybrid cloud scenarios, Synology enables architects to match solution capabilities with business objectives, reducing the risk of over- or under-provisioning.
How the Performance Evaluation Website Works
The site allows users to browse benchmarks for a wide range of Synology products, including:
1. All-Flash and Hybrid NAS Systems
Evaluations show how different hardware configurations handle heavy read/write workloads, deduplication, compression, and concurrent access.
2. SAN and High-Performance Platforms
For organizations running virtual machines, large databases, or latency-sensitive applications, SAN benchmarks reveal both throughput and consistency.
3. Hybrid Cloud and Object Storage Scenarios
Benchmarks include hybrid workflows that involve local storage performance combined with cloud replication and archival operations.
4. Application-Specific Metrics
Rather than generic numbers, the site presents performance data tied to real applications such as file serving under load, database transactions per second, and multi-tenant virtualization throughput.
The result is a familiar benchmark structure that is both deep enough for technical teams and accessible for business stakeholders involved in procurement and strategy.
Key Use Cases for the Performance Evaluation Data
Capacity Planning
IT teams can use benchmarks to estimate how much storage and compute power they need to support growth targets, user populations, and future workloads.
Technology Comparison
By comparing platforms side-by-side, organizations can understand trade-offs between all-flash systems, hybrid disk/SSD arrays, and cloud-accelerated deployments.
Optimization and Tuning
Performance data offers insights into where tuning, such as cache allocation, protocol configuration, or RAID choices, may yield the biggest benefit.
Proof of Concept Support
Enterprises can complement their own POCs with Synology’s standardized data, helping justify decisions to stakeholders with confidence.
These use cases underscore the value of performance transparency in enterprise infrastructure planning.
Why Performance Transparency Is Strategic
As hybrid IT adoption expands, IT environments are becoming more complex, often combining on-premise storage, cloud services, virtualized workloads, and application-specific performance requirements. Performance data that reflects genuine workloads, rather than synthetic benchmarks, adds strategic value by:
Reducing guesswork in architectural decisions
Shortening evaluation cycles and proof-of-concept timelines
Supporting vendor-agnostic comparisons
Aligning performance objectives with business SLAs
Ultimately, performance transparency contributes to cost-effective and resilient infrastructure planning.
How Epis Technology Enhances Synology Performance Deployments
While Synology’s performance evaluation site equips organizations with valuable benchmarking data, translating that insight into real-world outcomes often requires expert support. Epis Technology specializes in guiding businesses through the deployment, optimization, and tuning of Synology solutions, ensuring performance data isn’t just theoretical, but practical.
Epis Technology begins with a detailed analysis of your workloads, data volumes, access patterns, and service-level objectives. Using this insight, the team designs a tailored architecture that matches storage tiers, caching strategies, and protocol choices with your performance needs. Epis Technology also configures hybrid cloud integrations, deduplication and compression policies, and backup workflows that align with your continuity and compliance goals. With ongoing monitoring, performance tuning, and capacity planning, Epis Technology helps ensure your Synology deployment continues to operate efficiently under evolving demands, turning benchmark insights into measurable business value.
Best Practices for Leveraging Performance Data
To get the most from Synology’s new evaluation resource:
1. Align Benchmarks With Real Workloads
Match evaluation scenarios to applications you run, such as VDI, database clusters, or file services, to ensure relevance.
2. Use Multiple Metrics
Consider throughput, latency, concurrency, and consistency, not just raw speed, for comprehensive analysis.
3. Consider Hybrid Cloud Impact
Evaluate how cloud-assisted storage and replication affect performance based on your usage patterns.
4. Factor in Growth
Select benchmarks that reflect future load expectations, not just current utilization.
5. Validate With Pilot Deployments
Use benchmark data to inform real pilot tests, then refine configurations based on results.
Performance Insights Drive Better Outcomes
Synology’s new performance evaluation website empowers organizations with the data they need to make intelligent infrastructure decisions, whether upgrading, consolidating, or expanding storage and compute environments. By offering realistic, workload-based performance data, Synology helps organizations plan with confidence and avoid costly missteps.
