Synology has expanded its high-end infrastructure portfolio through the launch of the new PAS7700 storage unit, aimed at organizations running heavy workloads that cannot afford downtime, especially in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and semiconductor design, where storage performance and reliability directly affect operations.
The system itself comes in a 4U chassis loaded with dual controllers and 48 NVMe SSD bays, and it can scale all the way up to 1.65PB of raw storage capacity through seven expansion units. Synology is also positioning it as a very flexible platform since it supports both file and block storage alongside a long list of enterprise protocols, including NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB, and NFS.
On the performance side, the PAS7700 is equipped with up to 2,048GB of memory and 100GbE networking, allowing it to push up to 2 million IOPS while maintaining sub-1 millisecond latency, with sequential throughput reaching up to 30GB/s. That puts it firmly into the territory of infrastructure designed for large-scale virtualization, AI datasets, transactional databases, and other latency-sensitive enterprise environments.
Powered by its full active-active controller design that runs simultaneously, this allows the platform to continue delivering services without interruption in case a node fails, such as a network path, a hardware component, or one of the controllers. It can be reinforced further with triple-parity RAID, mirrored write cache protection, IP failover, automatic failover systems, and a Continuous Availability Manager that gives administrators a visual overview of component health in real time.
The timing also lines up with increasing concerns around cyber resilience in Malaysia. With PIKOM’s Beyond Compliance: The State of Cyber Resilience in Malaysia 2026 report stating that the average cost of local data breaches climbed to RM3.2 million in 2025 while major incidents exceeded RM5 million, Synology is placing a big emphasis on enterprise-grade protection features as well.
The PAS7700 integrates Self-Encrypting Drives, WORM folders, and immutable snapshots that cannot be altered or deleted by unauthorized users, alongside Snapshot Replication and Hyper Backup for layered recovery strategies. At the same time, the brand’s DSM Enterprise OS specializes in supporting both inline and offline deduplication to reduce storage overhead and extend SSD lifespan. Synology is additionally preparing a Tiering feature that will automatically move colder data to higher-capacity storage tiers while reserving the fastest NVMe layers for active workloads.
Availability
The Synology PAS7700 is now available globally through Synology’s partner and distributor network, including Malaysia.
