Synology has launched two highly scalable storage systems, the SA3610 (12-core Intel Xeon D-1567) and SA3410 (8-core Intel Xeon D-1541). These systems are designed to meet the data storage needs of organizations of all sizes without sacrificing speed and performance. These new NAS solutions start with 12 drive bays each and are capable of scaling all the way to 96 drives. The total raw storage capacity can reach up to an impressive 1.7PB.

The SA3610 and SA3410 are designed to support demanding applications with sequential read/write speeds of more than 6,200/3,000MB/s and are compatible with 10/25/40GbE and Fibre Channel networking. These systems also support network bonding and SMB multichannel support, and hybrid storage arrays can be set up as a cost-efficient solution to cut down I/O speeds and latency on HDD volumes, with SSD volumes acting as read/write cache.
Synology has remote management solutions, including a dedicated out-of-band (OOB) management port, central management through Synology CMS, and cloud-powered remote monitoring with Active Insight. These features can help reduce administrative overhead, while hardware redundancy and active-passive clustering through Synology High Availability promotes service uptime.

The SA series systems are equipped with a range of file management, sharing, and syncing solutions for on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices. Synology Drive ShareSync allows organizations to distribute files across global servers and synchronize data back to the company headquarters. With Hybrid Share, shared data is saved to Synology C2 Storage data centers for on-demand access, while frequently accessed files are cached locally on Synology systems for faster LAN speed access.
Synology SA3610 and SA3410 Components, Connectivity, and Features
Both systems come equipped with Intel Xeon processors, with the SA3610 sporting a 12-core Xeon D-1567 processor and the SA3410 featuring an 8-core Xeon D-1541 processor. In terms of sequential read/write speeds, the SA3610 has a rate of 6,275/3,056MB/s, while the SA3410 offers a rate of 6,283/3,023MB/s. The random read/write IOPS rate for the SA3610 is 450,814/122,675, while the SA3410 has a rate of 336,224/116,518.
Both systems can support up to 128GB DDR4 memory and 96 drive bays via seven RX1222sas expansion units. They also come with Ethernet capabilities, including 5 x 1GbE RJ-45 and 2 x 10GbE RJ-45. Additionally, both systems have two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots with x8 lanes, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, and one Expansion port (Mini-SAS HD). An out-of-band management port is available on both systems, and they both come with a 5-year warranty.

The Synology SA series offers comprehensive data protection solutions through Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) for PCs, servers, VMs, and SaaS applications. For example, with Active Backup Suite, organizations can easily consolidate backups of Windows clients and servers, Linux endpoints, Synology systems, VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, as well as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, while managing all backup tasks through a centralized management console.
In addition to bare-metal and file-level restoration options for physical devices, VMs can also be temporarily restored to a built-in hypervisor, which helps to minimize service downtime. Block-level data deduplication can also help significantly reduce storage use, while incremental backups can minimize backup time and bandwidth use. Local snapshots also provide protection for files and LUNs against accidents and external threats (like ransomware attacks) while minimizing storage use and RTOs.

Synology’s Surveillance Station is another useful feature of that can be leveraged by the SA series. This powerful video management system provides businesses with flexible ONVIF support and over 8,300 validated IP cameras, making deployment easy and adjustable to meet each location’s requirements. The SA3610 and SA3410 can each handle up to 128 IP cameras, and multiple servers can be easily monitored, managed, and backed up via a built-in central management system.
