Synology Introduces Flash Station FS2017

Blazing fast all-flash NAS for intensive I/O applications

Taipei, Taiwan—April 27, 2017—Synology^® today launched FlashStation FS2017, a high performance and scalable NAS server designed for enterprises. Capable of handling over 90,000 IOPS in 4K random writing, FS2017 is perfect for big data analysis, video post-production, virtualization, and any demanding database application that requires high IOPS and low latency at the same time.

FS2017 features an Intel Xeon 8-core processor and 16GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM (expandable up to 128GB), guaranteeing high performance in multitasking and data throughput. The multi-LAN design of four native 1GbE and dual 10GBase-T ports, combined with the optional 10GbE / 25GbE / 40GbE NIC support, enables FS2017 to maximize bandwidth and meet high requirements for data-intensive applications.

“Due to the peculiarities of SSD and RAID technology, a common challenge lies in how to prevent all drives from failing at the same time because of the evenly distributed workload,” said Jason Fan, Product Manager at Synology Inc. “The RAID F1 feature offered by FS2017 alleviates this problem with a specially designed algorithm to unevenly distribute workload to different drives, thus enhancing the resilience of the storage pool and ensuring data security.”

FS2017 runs on Synology’s award-winning 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, FS2017 will soon become the go-to choice for large-scale businesses.
