Synology has officially announced the availability of PAS7700 in the Philippines, an active-active all-flash NVMe storage system designed to support high-performance and always-on environments.
As enterprises in the Philippines 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.
By providing centralised high-performance storage with support for file storage, virtualised workloads, Fibre Channel connectivity and active-active architecture, the PAS7700 helps businesses manage demanding workloads more smoothly. It also gives organisations a more reliable foundation to support future needs, including AI-related workloads, system expansion, and ongoing operations with minimal disruption.
A Storage Platform for Mission-Critical Systems
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.
Designed to Minimize System Disruption
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.
Multi-Layer Data Protection for Enterprises
Organizations in the Philippines are facing growing cybersecurity challenges as digital operations and AI adoption continue to expand. Recent industry research also found that more than half of organizations across Asia Pacific are dealing with fragmented security systems and overwhelming volumes of security alerts, making resilience and uninterrupted operations a growing priority.
In response, Synology places strong emphasis on enterprise data protection. PAS7700 supports Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs), providing hardware-level protection without compromising system performance.
The system also supports WORM folders and immutable snapshots, allowing snapshots to remain protected from unauthorized modification or deletion after creation, thereby reducing the risk of tampering and unauthorized data interference.
In addition, PAS7700 supports Snapshot Replication and Hyper Backup, enabling enterprises to build multiple layers of backup and recovery between production environments and secondary systems. This helps strengthen cyber resilience and improve data recoverability in the event of incidents or cyberattacks.
“As businesses in the Philippines continue to accelerate digital transformation, reliable and resilient data infrastructure has become essential to maintaining competitiveness and ensuring uninterrupted operations,” said Claire Huang, Synology Country Manager for the Philippines. “PAS7700 enables enterprises to support mission-critical workloads while preparing for future growth and AI adoption.”
Lower Cost, Greater Efficiency
Beyond performance and data protection, Synology also addresses the challenge of optimizing long-term storage investment for enterprises. As many businesses in Malaysia continue expanding their data infrastructure, virtual machines, and internal AI workloads, the cost of high-speed storage is becoming an increasing pressure on IT environments.
PAS7700 supports both online and offline deduplication technologies, helping reduce unnecessary data usage and extend SSD lifespan. This mechanism can significantly improve storage efficiency in large-scale data environments.
Soon, the system will also support Synology Tiering, which automatically moves infrequently accessed data to high-capacity storage systems. This helps free up high-speed NVMe resources for active applications and hot data.
The entire platform runs on DSM Enterprise, Synology’s operating system developed specifically for enterprise storage, designed for environments that require high performance while maintaining intuitive management and operational simplicity.
PAS7700 is now available globally through Synology’s network of partners and distributors.
