After its debut appearance in Computex 2025, Synology announced the launch of the PAS7700 all-NVMe enterprise storage system in Malaysia, as part of its next-generation data management portfolio. The unveiling took place during Synology Solution Day 2025 in Malaysia, also marking the company’s 25th anniversary.
Synology PAS7700
The PAS7700 features an “active-active dual-controller architecture” that delivers up to 2 million (4K) IOPS and 30GB/s throughput with latency below one millisecond – that’s twice as fast as the fastest consumer PCIe 5.0 SSDs you can buy today, which maxes out at 14GB/s. The entire 4U rack, powered by AMD EPYC processors, can pack up to 216 NVMe SSDs totaling 1.65 petabytes (that’s 1,650TB or 1,650,000GB) of raw storage, along with support for 2TB RAM (1TB per controller), plus up to 4x 100GbE or 12x 25GbE networking.
Of course, being an enterprise-focused product means reliability is of utmost importance. Synology says the PAS7700 features “built-in 3-2-1-1 protection capabilities” (the 3-2-1-1 rule stands for 3 data copies, on 2 media types, 1 offsite, and 1 immutable copy), including immutable snapshots, replications, along with offsite tiering and backup options. For cost efficiency, there’s also inline and offline deduplication to minimize wastage of storage spaces.
During the event, Synology Head of Southeast Asia Thachawan Chinchanakarn pointed out that while nearly 90% of businesses in Southeast Asia region have invested in digital transformation, the majority of it – 85% according to the company’s survey findings – are still in early stages of deployment, while more than 55% of them experienced cyberattacks. In particular, only 22% are confident in their data recovery capabilities.
Having possession of large amounts of data is one thing, but sifting through them can be a time-consuming process too. To that end, the company is looking to bring AI-powered capabilities into Synology Office Suite, including OCR (optical character recognition), semantic search, summarization, and live translation to the on-premise servers to ensure data remains private to the businesses involved.
