COMPUTEX 2026 | Synology unveils enterprise AI, cybersecurity, high-performance storage innovations
Taiwanese technology company Synology has introduced a series of enterprise-focused technologies designed to help organizations manage growing AI workloads, strengthen cyber resilience, and modernize storage infrastructure as businesses accelerate digital transformation initiatives.
The announcements include the Philippine launch of the PAS7700 enterprise storage platform, the upcoming release of ActiveProtect Manager 2.0, and a roadmap for the next generation of DiskStation Manager (DSM), reflecting the company’s broader push into enterprise data management, security, and private AI deployment.
PAS7700 targets mission-critical workloads
Synology officially launched the PAS7700 in the Philippines, introducing an active-active all-flash NVMe storage system designed for organizations that require high performance and continuous availability. The platform is aimed at industries such as manufacturing, semiconductor design, engineering, healthcare, data centers, and game development, where storage performance directly affects productivity and business continuity.
“PAS7700 reflects Synology’s 25+ years of experience in storage and our close collaboration with enterprise customers to address evolving requirements for high availability, performance, and scalability,” said Bie-i Chu, executive vice president of the Synology NAS Group. “After a year of extensive real-world validation through our enterprise proof-of-concept program, PAS7700 is field-proven to deliver high reliability and performance, while helping customers lower total cost of ownership (TCO).”
The system features dual controllers and 48 NVMe SSD bays in a 4U chassis and can scale to 1.65 petabytes of raw capacity through expansion units. Synology said the platform supports file and block storage workloads and offers compatibility with NVMe-oF, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB, and NFS protocols.
With support for up to 2,048 GB of memory and 100GbE networking, the PAS7700 delivers up to 2 million IOPS, latency below one millisecond, and sequential throughput reaching 30 GB/s.
To improve service continuity, the storage platform uses an active-active architecture that allows both controllers to operate simultaneously. Additional protections include triple-parity RAID, mirrored write-cache protection, IP failover, immutable snapshots, Snapshot Replication, and Hyper Backup.
“As businesses in the Philippines continue to accelerate digital transformation, reliable and resilient data infrastructure has become essential to maintaining competitiveness and ensuring uninterrupted operations,” said Claire Huang, Synology country manager for the Philippines. “PAS7700 enables enterprises to support mission-critical workloads while preparing for future growth and AI adoption.”
ActiveProtect Manager 2.0 expands cyber-resiliency capabilities
Synology also announced ActiveProtect Manager 2.0, the latest version of its enterprise backup and recovery platform, which introduces broader infrastructure support and AI-powered threat detection. The release is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
“AI has turned cyber threats into a force enterprises can no longer outpace, driving organizations to seek data protection that is both dependable and accessible,” said Philip Wong, chairman and CEO of Synology.
The update expands protection coverage to Azure Virtual Machines, Amazon EC2, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox VE, and Google Workspace, while adding cross-platform recovery options that allow workloads to be restored between cloud and on-premises environments. The platform also adds support for backup copies stored in Azure Blob Storage.
Jia-Yu Liu, executive vice president of the Synology Data Protection Group, said ActiveProtect Manager 2.0 “extends protection coverage to major clouds, hypervisors, and SaaS platforms, while introducing AI-driven threat detection that shifts data protection from reactive recovery to proactive defense.”
Among the new capabilities is an anomaly detection engine that uses machine learning to identify suspicious activity, including unusual change rates, mass deletions, and entropy spikes. The system can automatically quarantine affected files and integrate with third-party antivirus solutions to help ensure only clean backup versions are restored. An Auto Fallback feature allows organizations to recover from the most recent verified backup if a restore point is found to be compromised.
DSM roadmap focuses on private AI
Alongside the infrastructure announcements, Synology outlined plans for the next generation of DiskStation Manager, expanding the platform beyond storage management into an enterprise AI and data governance environment.
“Enterprise AI adoption is no longer the challenge, data control is,” Wong said. “The next generation of DSM leverages over two decades of expertise to create an AI-ready platform that keeps organizations firmly in control of their data.”
According to Synology, the new DSM will allow organizations to transform business data, logs, and operational metrics into a private knowledge base that AI agents can use without transferring information to external cloud providers. The platform will include AI capabilities within Synology Office Suite and support local AI inference through Synology GPU servers and dedicated AI appliances.
Bie-i Chu said the updated platform is “built for both AI and enterprise demands, enabling private AI workflows with full governance, fleet-scale management, and the security controls IT teams need for regulation and compliance requirements.”
The roadmap also includes DSM Agent for workflow automation, Cluster Manager for centralized fleet administration, expanded role-based access controls, a redesigned Log Center, and security enhancements that include a built-in secure element and planned FIPS 140-3 certification.
The announcements from Synology, best known for its network-attached storage (NAS) systems, enterprise storage platforms, backup solutions, and data management software, underscore how technology vendors are evolving their offerings for the AI era, where storage performance, cyber resilience, governance, and operational efficiency have become increasingly interconnected business priorities.
