Synology launches highly scalable SA6400 to build the ultimate private cloud for business

Synology announced the availability of the 12-bay SA6400, its most versatile general-purpose storage system designed to provide enterprises and large studios with lightning-fast data transfer speeds and on-demand capacity expansion.

“SA6400 is the ideal solution to tackle today’s ever-increasing amounts of unstructured data,” said Julien Chen, product manager at Synology. “Its ability to quickly scale as data demands grow makes it suitable to serve as file or backup storage in agile and dynamic environments, getting businesses ready for future data growth.”

Storage capacity is seamlessly expandable by adding up to eight RX1223RP expansion units for a total of 108 drive bays, making room for over 1.9 petabytes on a single system — nine times the original capacity.

With a throughput of over 6,500/4,000 MB/s sequential read/write, SA6400 ensures smooth operations even in the most demanding scenarios, including enterprise data centers, large production studios, and applications in the retail or hospitality sectors.

Performance can be further boosted to accommodate more streams or tackle specialized applications by upgrading the built-in 10GbE networking to 25 or even 40GbE.
