Synology, a technology company renowned for its Network-Attached Storage (NAS) appliances, has officially launched in the Philippines its new storage system designed to support high-performance and always-on environments.
Dubbed PAS7700, the active-active all-flash Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) aims to accelerate digital transformation initiatives and adopt increasingly data-intensive technologies such as AI and analytics, storage is no longer merely a place to keep data.
It has become the foundation supporting mission-critical operations. Organizations are therefore placing greater emphasis on performance, service continuity, and long-term operational stability when evaluating enterprise storage infrastructure.
“PAS7700 reflects Synology’s 25+ years of experience in storage and our close collaboration with enterprise customers to address evolving requirements for high availability, performance, and scalability,” said Bie-i Chu, Executive Vice President of the Synology NAS Group. “After a year of extensive real-world validation through our enterprise proof-of-concept program, PAS7700 is field-proven to deliver high reliability and performance, while helping customers lower total cost of ownership (TCO).”
The PAS7700 is built for organizations where storage performance has a direct impact on productivity and business continuity. In industries such as game development, semiconductor design, engineering consulting and manufacturing, teams often work with large files, frequent rebuilds, multiple users, virtual machines, databases, and business-critical systems at the same time. When the storage layer slows down, the impact can be felt across different teams, systems, and operations.
PAS7700 is equipped with dual controllers and 48 NVMe SSD bays in a 4U chassis and can scale up to 1.65 PB of raw storage capacity with up to seven expansion units. The system supports both file and block storage and offers broad protocol support, including 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.
It is also well suited for data-intensive sectors such as data centers, manufacturing, semiconductor design, game development and healthcare, where multiple users and systems depend on consistent performance and continuous service availability.
One of PAS7700’s most notable strengths is its active-active architecture, which enables both controllers to operate simultaneously rather than relying on a traditional active-standby model. If one controller or a network component fails, the system can continue delivering services, significantly reducing the risk of business disruption.
The system is built with multiple protection layers to ensure high availability, including triple-parity RAID, mirrored write cache protection, IP failover, and automatic failover mechanisms.
PAS7700 also includes Continuous Availability Manager, enabling enterprise IT teams to visually monitor the health status of each system component and quickly detect and address issues before they affect services.
