Powerful all-flash storage at an affordable cost
Synology FlashStation provides a faster and more cost-effective SSD storage solution for VM workloads. Easily expand, adjust, and manage your VM storage network with Synology FlashStation all-flash storage units. Leverage a host of performance, capacity, and protection options to build a storage setup that lets your virtual applications perform at their best.
Synology storage solution helps National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC) improve its service with better performance at less than half the price.
"Lack of transparency in pricing is a major problem with other brands. You'll only figure out the total cost of ownership after you've made commitments, especially for maintenance and support contracts. Additionally, vendor lock-in and artificial limitations create even more issues down the road. Synology solutions have more transparent pricing, making it easier for us to control our budget to evaluate maintenance costs,"

Add only the storage and features you need
Many buyers of high-priced flash storage solutions find themselves unable to realize the full potential of their storage equipment due to system limitations elsewhere in their virtualization setups. FlashStation units come in different specifications and can be expanded up to 72 drives, allowing you to build a cost-effective solution and add storage when you need it.

Protect every VM workload with license-free solutions
Confidently entrust your critical application data to Synology FlashStation with license-free workload protection tools. Leverage advanced applications including Snapshot Replication and Synology High Availability to efficiently back up data and maximize system uptime.
-
Synology High Availability
- Create a high-availability cluster with two FlashStations, with an identical passive server ready to relaunch files and applications within seconds if the active server goes offline.
- Never lose data to hardware failure with real-time replication of all data between two servers.
- Let applications relaunch automatically to maximize service uptime and continuity.
-
Snapshot Replication
- Take snapshots of VM data stored to FlashStation to achieve instant recovery in case of disaster.
- Minimum intervals between snapshots are only 5 minutes for shared folders and 15 minutes for iSCSI LUNs.
- Replicate snapshots to onsite or offsite Synology NAS.
- Recovery is possible by anyone with correct privileges.
-
Hyper Backup
- Back up data to any Synology NAS or to the public cloud, including Synology C2 Storage.
- Create as many recovery points as you like without wasting storage on duplicate data with block-level incremental backup and versioning.
- Detect data corruption with data and index integrity checks to keep backups reliable.
Drakewell implemented a high-performance storage that met the capacity needs, allowed to scale as the virtual machine footprint grew, and were also able to provide a disaster recovery method.
"The performance of Synology all-flash arrays never ceases to impress us: the team in our US datacenter were looking to get faster, more responsive NFS storage. They decided to evaluate the Synology FS6400 by dialing in to our UK datacenter, and were astonished to find the hypervisor in the US getting better speed and latency from the Synology across the Atlantic than from their existing enterprise storage in the local network.”
