2021: FlashStation FS2500
On December 8, 2021, Synology announced the release of the FlashStation FS2500, an addition to the company's Flash server line.
The FS2500 is designed for enterprise IT applications that require fast, low-latency storage, including virtual machines post-production operations. The compact 1U housing has 12 compartments for disks SATA 2.5 "providing sufficient capacity and ease of installation.
The device provides a speed of more than 170 thousand/82 thousand I/O operations per second with arbitrary reading/writing in 4 KB blocks and is equipped with two ports 10GbE with the ability to expand to 10/25GbE.
"The FS2500 meets the growing demand for distributed computing. With a small footprint, this versatile solution can be deployed on the periphery or in mobile use cases, "said Julien Chen, Synology Product Manager. |
The FS2500 is powered by the SoundStation Manager (DSM) operating system and provides reliability and ease of maintenance. Intelligent storage features such as automatic disk recovery, storage deduplication, and snapshot creation, combined with remote backup capabilities, ensure data and service availability.
2020: FlashStation FS3600
On June 16, 2020, the company Synology announced the release of the FS3600 system, a device All-Flash from the network servers Data Storage FlashStation family. Storage System The FS3600 is designed for low latency tasks and provides more than 195,000 I/O per second with 4 KB random write. This cost-effective solution supports scaling to 72 drives and is suitable for online databases virtual machines transaction processing (OLTP) and other high I/O environments.
"Capacity and scalability have always played an important role, but the demand for faster and more efficient storage solutions data has made throughput and response times critical even in general applications. With competitive performance Total Cost of Ownership , the FS3600 meets performance requirements while providing scalability to meet future storage needs. " noted' Michael Wang, Product Manager, Synology Inc. ' |
According to the manufacturer, the FS3600 is equipped with 12-core processor Intel Xeon and supports network cards up to 56GbE. It is designed for various tasks that require high throughput and low latency storage, such as virtualization analysis, big data OLTP, deep learning and training, AI as well as high-resolution video postprocessing.
- Scalability. Up to 72 drives
- Built-in 10GbE ports. 2 ports 10GbE and 4 ports 1GbE
- Network card support up to 56GbE. Support for expansion boards 10GbE/25GbE/40GbE/56GbE
- Performance. More than 195,000 I/O per second for 4 KB random write. to the protocol iSCSI
As noted in Synology, the company's data management solutions simplify deployment and protect your critical business infrastructure.
- Protect virtual machines, SaaS, and endpoints. Centralized backup solutions protect VMware and Hyper-V VMs, Windows endpoints, and Microsoft 365 and G Suite accounts. You can manage all backup tasks on a single portal and quickly recover data using flexible recovery methods with Synology Active Backup.
- Prevent data loss. Integration with VMware and Windows Server environments provides storage management and application-consistent data protection. Snapshot Replication provides protection for shared folders and LUNs for shared workloads.
- Increase availability of services. Sharing the FS3600 and another identical device allows you to create a high availability cluster. The active-passive architecture provides automatic service switching within seconds of a device failure with Synology High Availability.
2019: FlashStation FS6400
On July 25, 2019, the company Synology introduced the high-speed storage FS6400, expanding the range of products for solving various IT tasks related to I/O density, storage capacity and physical size. servers
"Synology is upgrading its range of high-performance products to offer additional solutions tailored to the needs of different business workloads. When it comes to data management, performance and capacity are two of the main challenges companies face. Therefore, we have developed the FS and SA series to meet these challenges and provide a high level of flexibility and efficiency in data management. This allows you to overcome storage constraints and allows enterprises to realize the full potential of working with valuable data, " noted' Jason Fan, Product Manager, Synology Inc. ' |
According to the manufacturer's statement, the FS6400 with two 8-core processors Intel Xeon Silver, provides more than 240,000 I/O per second when randomly written in 4 KB blocks per unit to the protocol iSCSI and meets the requirements for high performance and flexibility required for business. Storage System The FS6400, according All-Flash to the manufacturer, is suitable for virtualized both container databases and web environments applications and creates a data-centric architecture that ensures faster storage operation.
Features of FS6400 noted by Synology:
- Scalability. Up to 48 drives with two RX1217sas modules or up to 72 drives with two RX2417sas modules
- Memory. 32 GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM (up to 512 GB)
- Built-in 10GbE interface. 2 ports 10GbE and 2 ports 1GbE Ethernet with support of emergency switching and Link Aggregation
- PCIe expansion. 2 PCIe 3.0 slots for additional NICs
- Performance. More than 240,000 I/O per second for random 4 KB iSCSI write.
2017: FlashStation FS2017
FlashStation FS2017 is a scalable NAS server for large business.
On April 27, 2017, Synology announced the release of the NAS server FlashStation FS2017. The server is designed for video processing, large amounts of information, virtualization.
Device performance - up to 90 thousand IOPS in data processing mode with a cluster size of 4K and a random record[1].
FS2017 is equipped with an 8-core Intel Xeon processor, 16 GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM RAM (expands to 128 GB).
LAN interfaces:
- 4 ports 1GbE
- 2 10GBase-T ports supporting 10GbE/ 25GbE/ 40GbE NIC.
The use of SSD drives in combination with RAID technology has one feature - the possibility of simultaneous failure of all disks due to evenly distributed load. Our task is to prevent the occurrence of such a situation. RAID F1 technology implemented in FS2017 solves the problem through a specially designed algorithm to support uneven workload distribution across drives, improving storage reliability and system health. Vic Hsu, CEO Synology Inc. |
FS2017 runs the Synology DSM operating system, with built-in Snapshot Replication technology. The OS helps create up to 65,000 backups to third-party servers, supporting VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and OpenStack virtualization.
As of April 27, 2017, FS2017 devices are available for shipment everywhere.
