Malaysian enterprises that cannot afford downtime have a new storage option to weigh. Synology has made its PAS7700 generally available in Malaysia, an all-flash NVMe system built to keep mission-critical workloads running without interruption.
The PAS7700 is Synology's first active-active, all-flash NVMe array. Both controllers work at the same time, so if one fails the other carries the load without taking the storage offline. Synology positions it for sectors that now treat storage speed as a business continuity issue, including semiconductor design, healthcare, game development and manufacturing, along with a growing set of AI-related workloads.

What is inside
The system uses a dual-controller design with 48 NVMe SSD bays in a 4U chassis. Each controller runs an AMD EPYC 7443P 24-core processor and starts with 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory, scaling up to 1TB per controller. Raw capacity reaches up to 1.65PB, and with up to seven expansion units the array can hold 216 drives. Synology cites up to 2 million IOPS at sub-millisecond latency and throughput of up to 30 GB/s when paired with 100GbE networking.
It also speaks a broad set of protocols, covering NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB and NFS, so it can serve both file and block storage from the same unit.
Why it matters here
For Malaysian organisations, the appeal is less about raw numbers and more about uptime. An active-active layout means maintenance or a hardware fault on one controller does not stop the other, which matters for hospitals, factories and studios that run around the clock. The all-flash NVMe base also suits the heavier read and write patterns that come with virtual machines, large databases and AI training data.
Pricing in Malaysia depends on configuration and capacity, and buyers will typically work through Synology's enterprise channel rather than retail. Synology has not published a local price for the launch.
The takeaway
The PAS7700 gives Malaysian enterprises a locally available, high-performance storage system designed around continuous operation. For teams where an hour of downtime carries a real cost, that resilience is the headline.
