Synology FlashStation FS3017 All-Flash NAS

Synology, Inc. launched FlashStation FS3017 all-flash NAS.

Capable of handling over 200,000 IO/s in 4k random writing with RDMA technology enabled, the FS3017 is for big data analysis, video post-production, virtualization, and handling any demanding database application that requires high IO/s and low latency.

FS3017 features dual Xeon six-core processors, 64GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM (expandable up to 512GB), dual built-in 10GBase-T ports, and supports optional 10GbE /25GbE /40GbE NICs, guaranteeing stable performance in multitasking and data throughput.

It is also compatible with various SATA/SAS SSD brands, offering users more flexibility with their budgets.

“With Synology’s new signature feature RAID F1, we unevenly distribute parity bits across all SSDs to prevent RAID crashes,” says Vic Hsu, VP. “when the oldest SSD handling the most write-intensive operations wears out, users simply replace it with a new disk without interrupting the RAID.”

FS3017 runs on company’s NAS operating system DSM, with built-in snapshot replication which creates 65,000 backup copies to offsite servers, and an inclusive virtualization solution that incorporates VMware, Citrix, Hyper-V, and OpenStack integration. With Windows ACL, Windows AD and LDAP integration support, plus various application privileges, the FS3017 will soon become a choice for large-scale businesses.

The FlashStation FS3017 is available worldwide.
