Synology® Unveils FlashStation and New SAS Storage Lineup

PRESS RELEASE

Introducing FS6400, SA3400, and DS620slim, Synology’s latest product update aims at delivering performance, storage capacity and compact form factor

MILTON KEYNES, United Kingdom - 25 July 2019 - Synology Inc. today launched FS6400, SA3400, and DS620slim, refining the product portfolio to resolve IT challenges from IO density, storage capacity, and physical dimensions of the server. These models are successors to the existing ones with a name change in the product series to better distinguish among high-end rackmount servers.

"Synology renews the product portfolio for high-end models to offer more options tailored to demands from various business workloads," said Jason Fan, Product Manager at Synology Inc. "When it comes to data management, performance and capacity are two central concerns facing businesses. Therefore, we developed the FS and SA series to address these specific concerns from IT administration. All these are to eliminate storage silos and enable businesses to realise the potential value of their important data."

Joint with the release of FS and SA product line, Synology UK announces cooperation with StorTrec UK Ltd. to enhance post-sales service coverage for UK and Ireland. “Business need more than a robust storage device. Equally important are the software features and hardware service to protect the data inside and keep it up and running” said Nicole Lin, Managing Director at Synology UK, “Synology is the industry’s best in backup and data protection technology. We’re partnering with StorTrec to extend hardware service to the door of every business. We believe their expertise and a decade of experience in the field will benefit our users.”

“The demand for Synology has increased significantly over the past two years,” said Mark Narraway, Managing Director at StorTrec UK, “and their failure rate is astonishingly low. We have faith in their products and are very glad to offer professional services for Synology customers. I believe Synology users who don’t have service contracts in place will like our offering, including 24x7 phone line remote diagnosis, 4-hour response on-site and comprehensive replacement service covering hard drives and spare parts.” The service packs are available across Synology DiskStation, RackStation, FlashStation, SA series and expansion units.
