Synology FlashStation FS3017

The new device by Synology, an all-flash NAS named FS3017, marks the first time the vendor has issued something entirely targeted for flash, not simply also supporting it. FS3017 is said to be ideal for big data analysis, video post-production, virtualization, and handling demanding database applications.

FS3017 uses the award winning DSM operating system, which comes with several features including 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. DSM also has Windows ACL, Windows AD and LDAP integration support, plus various application privileges.

Synology claims that the FS3017 can reach over 200K IOPS in 4k random writing using RDMA technology. It carries dual Intel Xeon 6-core processors, 64GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM (expandable up to 512GB), dual built-in 10GBase-T ports, and supports optional 10GbE / 25GbE / 40GbE NICs.
