Synology PAS7700: Ultra-Fast NVMe Storage for Enterprise
Synology Announces PAS7700: Ultra-Fast Active-Active NVMe Storage for Enterprise Applications
Synology has introduced the PAS7700, a cutting-edge storage platform engineered to deliver ultra-fast, active-active NVMe performance for demanding enterprise applications. This latest addition to Synology’s portfolio is designed for organizations that require extremely low latency, high throughput, and consistent performance under heavy workloads such as virtualization, analytics, databases, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
As enterprises continue to embrace digital transformation and hybrid cloud environments, the PAS7700 provides a scalable and resilient storage backbone that supports mission-critical systems requiring top-tier performance and data protection.
What the PAS7700 Brings to the Enterprise
Ultra-Fast Active-Active NVMe Architecture
At the heart of the PAS7700 is its active-active controller design, which enables two controllers to operate simultaneously without taking workloads offline. This means that even during maintenance or unexpected faults, performance and availability remain uncompromised. Combined with all-NVMe storage built entirely on high-speed NVMe drives, the PAS7700 delivers:
Sustained high IOPS
Extremely low latency
High throughput for mixed workloads
Consistent performance under peak demand
This architecture enables enterprises to support applications where speed and reliability directly impact operational efficiency and user experience.
Enterprise-Grade Resilience and High Availability
Enterprise storage must be dependable, and the PAS7700 delivers on that need. Its active-active design minimizes single points of failure and provides continuous access to data even when one part of the system requires service or encounters issues. Key resilience features include:
Redundant controllers and power supplies
Automatic failover and recovery
Non-disruptive upgrades
Real-time replication
These elements help businesses maintain uptime and support strict service level agreements (SLAs).
Scalability and Flexible Deployment
The PAS7700 supports flexible deployment models, allowing organizations to scale storage capacity as data grows. Its modular architecture supports expansion units and advanced networking options, enabling enterprises to adapt to changing performance and capacity requirements without major infrastructure overhauls.
Whether deployed in a data center, private cloud, or hybrid environment integrated with public cloud resources, the PAS7700 offers consistent performance and capacity expansion.
Advanced Data Services and Software Integration
Synology’s unified software stack enhances the value of the PAS7700 by simplifying management and extending functionality. With tools such as:
Snapshot Replication for ransomware-resilient point-in-time copies
ActiveProtect for central backup orchestration and monitoring
Hybrid cloud backups with Synology C2
Security and compliance reporting
Enterprises gain a complete platform for protection, continuity, and long-term governance.
These software utilities help reduce administrative overhead while ensuring data remains secure, compliant, and recoverable.
Why PAS7700 Matters for Enterprise Workloads
The PAS7700 caters to organizations with demanding requirements, such as:
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) at scale
Large database workloads
High-performance analytics and AI/ML pipelines
Media production and rendering farms
Large-scale backup targets with performance SLAs
The combination of ultra-low latency and high throughput makes it particularly relevant for workloads that cannot tolerate I/O bottlenecks.
Integration With Hybrid Cloud Strategies
Today’s enterprise infrastructures often span on-premises systems and cloud platforms. The PAS7700 integrates seamlessly with Synology’s cloud services, including Synology C2 and hybrid cloud backup frameworks, allowing organizations to use local ultra-fast storage for performance-critical workloads while leveraging cloud tiers for off-site backups, archiving, and cost-efficient long-term retention.
This integration helps enterprises achieve a balanced architecture: high-speed local access coupled with scalable, secure cloud protection.
